KHL webinar to explore the changing industrial power landscape
21 September 2026
Power Under Pressure will take place on Tuesday, October 20, at 12pm (EDT); 11am (CDT) and feature Matt Guise and Mike Daugird from ACS, a company which, among other things, has expertise in the design and integration of facilities, equipment and control systems needed to deliver reliable power.
Hosted by KHL’s Julian Buckley, the session comes as industrial organizations face a rapidly changing energy landscape. Electrification, increasing automation and the growth of AI and data centers are creating significant new power demands, while grid capacity and aging infrastructure can present challenges for businesses seeking to expand operations.
Against this backdrop, the webinar will examine how power planning is evolving from a facilities issue into a wider strategic consideration for industrial businesses.
The panelists will discuss the pressures currently affecting industrial operators and consider what a modern resilience strategy should look like. Topics will include distributed energy, microgrids, battery energy storage and hybrid power architectures, as well as the growing importance of modularity when planning infrastructure for future expansion.
The relationship between sustainability and resilience will also be discussed, as well as where organizations should begin when evaluating infrastructure investments, and whether companies are acting early enough to protect future growth and operational continuity.
Looking further ahead, the discussion will explore the developments likely to have the greatest impact on industrial power infrastructure over the coming decade, including the dual role of AI as both a major driver of electricity demand and a potential tool for managing increasingly complex energy systems.
