Rittershausen to discuss how energy storage can help data centers accelerate access to power and maintain reliable operations 

NEW YORK, NY, October 23, 2026 – Convergent Energy and Power (Convergent), a leading provider of energy storage solutions in North America, today announced that Co-CEO Johannes Rittershausen will speak at the American Data Centers Construction Forum in Houston on October 28, 2026. Convergent will also participate as a Silver Sponsor and exhibitor at the event. 

At the conference, Rittershausen will discuss the increasingly important role of energy storage in data center infrastructure, including how battery energy storage systems can help address power constraints, accelerate access to electricity and support reliable operations.

As data centers contend with lengthy timelines to secure utility power, interconnection has become an increasingly significant constraint on development. Convergent’s approach uses co-located battery energy storage systems (BESS) to provide operators with a faster, more flexible path to energization while supporting uptime and performance once facilities are online.

“In our conversations with data center developers, they emphasized that traditional power solutions are slow, costly and offer limited operational flexibility,” Rittershausen said. “Battery energy storage systems are no longer optional. They are foundational to data centers’ ability to get online and stay there. Convergent stands ready to leverage our 15 years of expertise in energy storage to help data centers navigate capacity constraints and accelerate their path to power.”

Convergent’s battery storage solution is designed to address challenges throughout data center development and operations, helping operators accelerate first power, unlock additional capacity, maintain uptime and power quality, navigate curtailment events and reduce energy costs.
