Episode notes

As AI and data center development accelerate, the competition for power, infrastructure, and emerging technologies is intensifying, just as regulators are taking a closer look at consolidation across these markets. In this episode, Vinson & Elkins' Chief Innovation Officer Aubrey Bishai is joined by Antitrust Partner Evan Miller, who advises clients on merger investigations and antitrust counseling across energy, technology, and infrastructure markets. They discuss why antitrust analysis in power markets can differ from traditional transactions and what companies should expect as sectors adjacent to infrastructure, from cooling technologies to energy storage solutions, continue to evolve and potentially consolidate.
