• Major tech companies are focusing on resilient, clean energy solutions such as microgrids and advanced transmission technologies to support growing data center power needs.
• Microgrids provide not only resilience during outages but also economic benefits through participation in utility demand response programs and peak shaving.
• Despite policy shifts like the phaseout of the ITC, companies like Amazon are committed to deploying renewables and exploring alternative energy sources including small nuclear reactors.
• Innovations in transmission, such as high-capacity conductors, are critical to addressing the projected 100 GW increase in peak demand by 2045, with only a quarter of needed upgrades planned.
• Batteries are playing a versatile role in supporting data centers, offering backup power, frequency regulation, and energy arbitrage, akin to Olympic athletes in performance.
