Hyperscale data centers are increasingly integrating grid flexibility into their operations. Last month, Google announced agreements with Indiana Michigan Power and TVA to integrate demand response into its data centers, building off years of successful pilots. Meta, Nvidia, Oracle, and others are also piloting projects that enable grid flexibility, using AI workload orchestration, onsite storage, and demand response programs to shift power usage without impacting performance.
In this Latitude Dispatch, featuring Tyler Norris of Duke University and Latitude Media’s Maeve Allsup, we’ll provide an update on what’s in development today — including the projects, technologies, and deployment models gaining traction. We’ll dig into the project pipeline, which flexibility models are proving operationally and financially viable, and where bottlenecks remain.
Following up on last week’s Latitude Dispatch with Allison Clements, this live conversation will go deep into the tech and project development landscape. For developers, operators, and investors, it’s a status check on the race to build data centers that can flexibly interact with the grid.
