About this episode
In this episode of the Inside Data Centre Podcast, Andy Davis is joined by Tim Heidel, CEO and Co-Founder of VEIR. Tim shares how his background in electrical engineering, MIT, ARPA-E, and Breakthrough Energy led him to tackling the sector’s toughest power delivery challenges. The conversation centres on the scale of the data centre power crisis, why infrastructure can’t keep up, and how Veir’s superconducting technology aims to change what’s possible.
Key Topics:
• Why data centre power demand is set to more than double by 2030
• How megawatt-scale racks are transforming power delivery inside facilities
• The limits of copper and aluminium cables as densities and distances grow
• What Veir’s superconducting technology achieves at low and medium voltage
• How their 3 MW live demo proves readiness for real-world deployment
• Why speed, labour shortages and safety drive interest in new solutions
• The growing need for flexible, future-proof data centre design
Tune in to hear Tim’s outlook on power, grid expansion, and how the industry can rethink long-held assumptions to meet unprecedented demand.
