Data centers consume over 2% of U.S. electricity, and the rise of artificial intelligence is increasing this demand. In response, Pacifico Energy's GW Ranch project in Pecos County, Texas, plans to operate off-grid. This development bypasses traditional utility interconnections, instead utilizing a self-contained system with gas turbines and battery storage to meet energy requirements. As the demand for data processing continues to grow, such off-grid models could play a crucial role in ensuring reliable and efficient power supply. These innovations could set a precedent for future projects looking to navigate regulatory challenges and energy consumption needs. What implications could this have for future energy models in rapidly growing data sectors? #DataCenters #EnergyConsumption #ArtificialIntelligence #OffGrid #SustainableEnergy https://lnkd.in/dJnPQbgB

One of the best written articles I've seen on grid growth to support critical economic development, national security and the economic value of abundant AI. https://lnkd.in/g-2vPT7C Increasing the efficiency of the current electric infrastructure is the low hanging fruit of a fast growing grid. Putting batteries everywhere is a key lever to make it happen, along with connected asset aggregation, demand response and advanced conductoring. Texas leading the way with regulatory reform around interconnect, permitting and massive battery deployment. This is the crossroads of energy dominance, the criticality of AI, and a cross-partisan abundance agenda. From the article: "Texas has realized that using electricity at different times can be as efficient as adding new power." ... "Since 2021, Texas has added nearly 40 gigawatts of new clean power generation, enough to comfortably power all of New York State." ... and also deployed "more than 12 gigawatts of battery capacity, which can soak up the glut of cheap solar and wind energy produced during the day and discharge it to consumers when the sun sets". This message is the beating heart of the next chapter of the energy transition. Welcome to the grid utilization and battery deployment super cycle, y'all. Let's go get it done. Well done Lisa Hansmann Brian Deese, shout-out for foundational ideas and raising up this message to Tyler Norris david roberts #DERs #DistributedEnergy #Utilities #abundance #abundantamerica

The power grid is a connected system where energy, data, and decisions flow both ways. The industry remains fragmented by generation, transmission, distribution, and customer silos - making smart coordination harder than it should be. In today's world, that kind of separation slows down innovation. When demand flexibility, renewables, EVs, storage, and virtual power plants all need to play together, seeing the system as a whole makes a world of difference. It changes the conversation from “Can we build more?” to “How do we orchestrate what’s already there?” As long as one silo holds on, the rest don't gain clarity. I've seen utilities win in challenging moments when teams ignore boundaries and treat the grid like a living network, not just discrete components. That mindset unlocks real flexibility, resilience, and value. Grid tech lives (or stalls) by how connected the whole system really is. #GridModernization #CleanEnergy #SystemThinking #UtilityInnovation
