The episode is a live interview conducted by Dean Perrine with Gauri Potdar, CCO of GPC Infrastructure, at the DCD NYC event in Times Square. Perrine introduces the show as covering digital infrastructure trends and innovations. Gauri explains that GPC stands for Gas Powered Compute and focuses on behind-the-meter natural gas power generation and battery energy storage for data centers. She describes their solutions as comprehensive, aimed at helping data centers navigate grid delays. Gauri details their turnkey energy-as-a-service model, which includes engineered solutions, equipment, design, EPC packages, operations plans, and equipment access. She emphasizes that their modular solutions can be deployed within 24 months and are designed to plug into existing data center designs with minimal modifications. Gauri discusses their development-as-a-service approach, where GPC acts as a partner to developers, helping assess site feasibility, create bespoke engineering packages, and navigate regulations like 'bring your own generation' executive orders. She notes that GPC brings supply chain expertise, capital, and experience to the table, becoming an extension of developers' teams. Gauri explains that while they prefer to be involved from a project's conception, they can also help overcome roadblocks at any stage due to their global experience. She highlights that GPC has commissioned 14 gigawatts of equipment globally and has handled multiple grid interconnect applications. The interview concludes with Perrine thanking Gauri and encouraging viewers to follow JSA TV for more coverage.
