Clean Energy for Data Centers - Small Modular Nuclear Reactors (SMR)

SPEAKERS

Saeed Mehmood Program Manager - Commissioning and Quality, Tesla

ABOUT THE SESSION

Saeed Mehmood is the Program Manager – Commissioning and Quality at Tesla, with a deep-rooted expertise in Low Carbon Energy. He brings advanced technical, commercial, and project management capabilities, delivering solutions from design to commercialization across diverse industries. His experience spans renewable hydrocarbons (like biofuels and hydrogen), oil & gas, mining, chemicals, and infrastructure sectors. Saeed excels in strategic planning, financial modeling, and risk management, backed by hands-on experience in North American and global markets. An MBA graduate from London Business School and a certified PMP and P.Eng., Saeed will share his insights on “Clean Energy for Data Centers – Small Modular Nuclear Reactors (SMR).

Saeed Mehmood is set to deliver a compelling session on the role of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) in supporting the rapid growth of data centers and AI servers, which are key enablers of our next technological leap—Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). As computing demands surge, Saeed will discuss how SMRs offer a reliable, low-carbon energy source capable of meeting these high-density power requirements. He will delve into the economic advantages of scaling SMR deployment, drawing valuable lessons from France’s efficient and cost-effective reactor construction model. His presentation will also highlight the importance of safety, especially in the context of increasing nuclear reactor density within urban and civic environments. Saeed brings a balanced perspective that considers not only the promise of clean energy innovation but also the practical challenges that come with implementation. With a strong background in engineering, project management, and commercial strategy, he offers deep insights into the intersection of energy, infrastructure, and advanced technology. His session is expected to spark critical discussions around the future of sustainable, high-performance computing infrastructure.
