🚨 A new era begins for AI and energy. 🚨 🚀 Today, @EmeraldAi_ , @nvidia , @EPRINews , @digitalrealty , and @pjminterconnect announced the world’s first power-flexible AI Factory at commercial scale: the 96 MW Aurora AI Factory in Virginia. This milestone project establishes the reference architecture for how AI infrastructure and electric grids can work together to supercharge innovation while maintaining reliability. ⚡ Power-flexible AI Factories have the potential to unlock 100 GW of existing grid capacity to fuel the AI revolution without the need for massive new power plants. This approach keeps electricity affordable, strengthens grid reliability, and supports sustainable growth. Virginia Governor @GlennYoungkin recognized Aurora as a model for "promoting economic development and AI competitiveness while at the same time protecting the affordability and reliability of the power grid." 🌍 So the message is clear: AI and the electricity grid are no longer on separate tracks. Together, we’re defining the blueprint for power-flexible AI infrastructure. The AI revolution is the next moonshot, and power-flexible AI Factories can unlock energy abundance for AI. 🗞️ Read Amy Harder’s exclusive in Axios: lnkd.in/ehBMs2aT 🔗 Read the full press release here: lnkd.in/eXgi-6rg A huge heartfelt thank you to our phenomenal collaborators—@NVIDIA, @digitalrealty, @EPRINews , @pjminterconnect , and all our partners and supporters! #AI #GridFlexibility #EmeraldAI #AIRevolution #DataCenters
