To reward data centers willing to adjust demand during peak grid stress with speedier (and lower-cost) interconnection. The group includes tech titans and energy companies like National Grid, AES, Constellation, and NRG.
While we’re here: Americans are 2X more likely to support data centers when they run on renewables, according to a recent YouGov survey of over 1.2K US adults. 34% of respondents said they’d support clean energy-powered data centers, versus 16% for fossil fuel-powered facilities.
