The hidden power systems behind AI [partner content]
Data centers are known for their hulking exteriors, rows of blinking servers, and massive cooling equipment. But there’s an entire ecosystem no one gets to see: the electrical architecture that sits between the power source and the GPUs.
Power is caught in AI’s doom loop
We are in the middle of a radical political and economic realignment, with electricity infrastructure at the center of it. And this summer, the plot thickened. Power sector reforms are coming in fast and furious, across states, regional markets, and federal regulators.
Empowering utility customers with demand flexibility [partner content]
As data centers, factories, and electrification push growth to unprecedented heights, customers are looking for greater control over their energy use.
Electricity bills are on the ballot
Electricity prices have become a central storyline in upcoming U.S. elections. All over the country, Americans are finding it harder to pay their bills, and they’re getting increasingly cynical about utilities and data centers.
The breakout moment for VPPs [partner content]
Virtual power plants are having a moment. Suddenly, this once-niche solution for the power sector is breaking into mainstream discourse. The convergence of sudden load growth, aging infrastructure, extreme weather, and electricity inflation is turning distributed resources into must-deploy assets.

The U.S. intervened using a central banking model, and China intervened with a top-down government approach.
Data centers have a Texas-sized energy problem
The showdown over data centers is taking a new turn. This week, Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced a data center pause in order to audit how they’ll impact water supplies and the power grid. This comes weeks after New York issued a moratorium.
