Companies and utilities are scrambling to provide power for AI facilities. In some parts of the country, the fastest, most cost-effective solution is likely to be clean energy plus batteries — rather than more gas plants. According to an article in today’s The New York Times citing RMI research, load growth forecasts have been wrong in the past. To supply these data centers with enough power without doubling down on gas plants that may not be needed, RMI's Power Couples strategy can deploy all the energy a data center needs faster than a new gas build while supporting a shift to a cleaner grid.
Power Couples can help meet growing electricity demand fast by pairing a large electricity consumer — such as an AI data center — with new solar, wind, and battery resources, all located near an existing generator with an approved interconnection.
