Don’t mess with our grid: Texas is taking one of the biggest leaps. State lawmakers passed a law this year that allows grid operators to order data centers to cut their electricity use or switch to backup power when supplies are short. Developers will also need to pay a fee before connecting to the grid.

The energy demands of AI workloads are growing at an unprecedented pace. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang recently noted that future AI server racks could require up to 600kW of power, a dramatic leap from today’s standards and a fivefold increase in density from what we are seeing today.

California's statewide power grid operator is poised to become the first in North America to deploy artificial intelligence to manage outages, MIT Technology Review has learned.

The emergence of new AI capabilities has prompted utilities to rethink their approach to change management and edge computing.

AI’s performance advantages are tightly linked to methodological rigor and technological integration. Data preprocessing techniques, such as normalization, imputation, and feature extraction, were found to be essential in optimizing model accuracy.

Ciaran Flanagan, Vice President and Global Head of Data Centre Solutions and Services at Siemens, tells Energy Digital 's sister title AI Magazine about the current data centre market and AI’s role in it. We’re in the most transformative and exciting period in data centre history – and demand has never been greater.
