EVENT: Invera Energy will present research at ASES Solar 2026
Invera Energy’s Jami Wong presents research on data center community acceptance at ASES Solar 2026 in Austin, Texas. The presentation explores challenges surrounding energy demand, water usage, infrastructure impacts, and stakeholder engagement, highlighting strategies developers can use to build community trust and improve project outcomes.
Jami Wong, Vice President of Marketing, will attend ASES Solar 2026 taking place date in Austin, Texas, October 19-21, and present research examining community acceptance challenges facing data center development in the United States.
As data center growth accelerates alongside rising electricity demand, community acceptance is becoming a critical factor influencing project timelines, permitting and long-term success. Wong’s presentation will share findings from Invera Energy’s research and white paper, which examines data center project opposition and what developers can do to improve stakeholder engagement and project outcomes within data center host communities.
The research highlights a growing disconnect between technical feasibility and community acceptance, identifying key concerns around electricity demand, water usage, noise, infrastructure strain, and perceived local economic benefit. The presentation also explores how developers can build stronger social license through early engagement, transparency, and resource-aligned development strategies.
