Google and Nvidia Join AI Alliance to Unlock Power Grid Capacity
Google, Nvidia, and Anthropic have joined a newly launched coalition called the AI Energy Management Alliance, working alongside software startup Emerald AI and major energy utilities. The group is promoting "grid-flexible" data centres designed to dynamically reduce or shift power draw during peak grid stress. The alliance claims this operational model could unlock up to 100 gigawatts of capacity across the existing US electrical network. Source: TechCrunch
