TEVERRA Participates in ATLDC26 Discussions on the Future of Data Center Energy and Infrastructure

Atlanta, Georgia — TEVERRA recently participated in ATLDC26, joining industry leaders, infrastructure developers, and technology experts in discussions focused on the future of data center infrastructure, energy resiliency, cooling efficiency, and sustainable system design.

As part of the conference, Dr. Hamed Soroush, Founder and President of TEVERRA, spoke on the panel session:

“Design Evolution: Power, Water, and Where Do We Go Next”

The panel was moderated by Emily Bowers and featured Scott Steiding, Jonathan Lichtenfels, Dr. Hamed Soroush, Hector Casablanca, PE, and Corey Kinart. The discussion explored how the rapid growth of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and digital infrastructure is fundamentally reshaping the energy, cooling, and infrastructure requirements of next-generation data centers.

The panel brought together leaders from across the data center, engineering, architecture, and energy sectors to examine the growing challenges associated with power availability, water consumption, thermal management, infrastructure flexibility, and long-term sustainability. Conversations emphasized the urgent need for smarter and more efficient infrastructure strategies as global data demand continues to accelerate.

During the event, TEVERRA shared its perspective on the increasing role of geothermal energy and subsurface thermal management solutions in supporting scalable and resilient digital infrastructure. The company highlighted how geothermal systems and subsurface thermal energy storage technologies, including ResStor™, can significantly improve cooling efficiency, reduce cooling-related power demand, minimize thermal pollution, and support lower-emission infrastructure development.

A key theme throughout the discussion was the importance of improving overall energy efficiency while simultaneously expanding access to dependable baseload energy solutions. As utilities, hyperscalers, and infrastructure developers continue searching for scalable approaches to support rapidly increasing electricity demand, geothermal energy is increasingly being recognized as a long-term strategic solution.

TEVERRA also emphasized the growing importance of integrating cooling infrastructure, thermal storage, and energy management into future data center design as AI-driven workloads continue to increase infrastructure intensity and grid pressure.

In addition to the panel discussion, TEVERRA also participated in conversations with Rodney Bullard and Codeye J. Woody during the session “Beyond the Build,” which explored the broader impact of data center development on surrounding communities and regional infrastructure. Discussions focused on how policy, workforce development, infrastructure planning, and community engagement must evolve together to support the next generation of digital infrastructure growth.

ATLDC26 provided an important platform for collaboration and networking among leaders across the energy, infrastructure, engineering, and technology sectors. TEVERRA appreciated the opportunity to contribute to these discussions and engage with organizations actively shaping the future of sustainable digital infrastructure.

The event reinforced the growing convergence between subsurface technologies, geothermal innovation, energy transition strategies, and the evolving needs of the global data center industry.
