NVIDIA, Google and Emerald AI have launched a new coalition called the AI Energy Management Alliance, the companies announced.
In exchange, the coalition wants utility operators to connect their data centers faster.
To that end, the companies want to set a standard for flexible data centers that can shift computing workloads, discharge storage and respond to system contingencies, making it a "controllable resource rather than an inflexible load."
New US data centers can wait a decade or more for a grid connection, because utilities need to ensure they have enough capacity to serve everyone when demand is highest, "including on sweltering afternoons when air conditioners are running full tilt," CEO Varun Sivaram wrote.

In exchange, the facilities would reduce power usage during peak demand.
NVIDIA, Google and Emerald AI have launched a new coalition called the AI Energy Management Alliance, the companies announced. The aim is to promote more flexible AI data centers that won't be disruptive to electricity grids or need large, taxpayer-funded upgrades. In exchange, the coalition wants utility operators to connect their data centers faster.
As NVIDIA explains in its own blog post, US power infrastructure was built for "flat, static electricity demand" and not for computing centers that can power usage. To that end, the companies want to set a standard for flexible data centers that can shift computing workloads, discharge storage and respond to system contingencies, making it a "controllable resource rather than an inflexible load."
Emerald AI, a startup dedicated to making data centers more flexible, explained the new coalition's purpose in a Fortune article. New US data centers can wait a decade or more for a grid connection, because utilities need to ensure they have enough capacity to serve everyone when demand is highest, "including on sweltering afternoons when air conditioners are running full tilt," CEO Varun Sivaram wrote.
