Transforming Data Centers into Grid Assets: Harnessing AI and Load Flexibility for a Sustainable Future

As demand for AI and cloud computing skyrockets, companies are racing to build data centers, often outpacing construction and grid capacity. But what if these centers could shift from grid strain to grid assets? Join Schneider Electric’s Vance Peterson and Uplight’s Gisela Glandt as we explore how data centers can reduce power during peak times, utilizing DERs like solar and battery storage, and even provide energy back to the grid. 

Uplight’s research highlights the cautious interest of data center operators in load flexibility programs, emphasizing the necessity for utilities to foster strong relationships and deliver tailored solutions that ensure reliability while demonstrating immediate value. With insights from Schneider Electric’s partnerships in DCFlex and NREL’s Chip to Grid POC, we’ll discuss how customized approaches can turn data centers into pivotal partners in grid management and decarbonization.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how energy providers can unlock new capacity while powering the AI revolution.
