Today, @Google @NVIDIA @EmeraldAI_ are launching the AI Energy Management Alliance (AEMA), joined by @AnthropicAI, @TheAESCorp, @ConstellationEG, @GenerateCapital, @NationalGrid, @NRGenergy, and a dozen other industry partners. Our shared mission: modernize power system planning and operations for the 21st century to unlock the full potential of flexible data centers, enabling digital infrastructure to actively enhance system utilization, affordability, and reliability. Instead of waiting 5-7+ years for traditional system upgrades, multiple studies have found that reducing net grid withdrawal for less than 100 hours per year can unlock dozens of gigawatts of capacity, via compute flexibility, storage, or generation. At Google, we’ve proven this model by integrating 1 gigawatt of demand response capacity nationwide. To advance this mission, two new Google-commissioned reports are being released today that map actionable pathways forward: 1) @TheBrattleGroup: "Solutions for Timely Interconnection of Large Loads: Enabling Non-Firm Transmission Service," providing a technical blueprint to turn recent bipartisan direction from @FERC into operational reality. 2) @AuroraER_Oxford: "Curtailment Mitigation for Provisional Controllable Load Resources: Modeling the Effects of Front-of-Meter Netting," modeling flexible data centers in @ERCOT_ISO paired with front-of-meter resources. With thanks to AEMA's additional launch partners, @ADI_News, @CalibrantEnergy, @CamusEnergy, @ClearPathFound, @fluenceenergy, @GridUnity, PassKey, RWE, Splight, @verrusdata, and @voltusinc.
