Speaking Session: Flex or Famine: The Power to Accelerate AI with Load Flexibility

📅 September 30 | 🕒 10:10 AM – 11 AM CST | 📍Fredericksburg D

As the demand for AI skyrockets, utilities face a dilemma—how to supply energy fast enough without overbuilding and risking stranded assets. Traditional generation and transmission upgrades are slow and costly, risking US AI competitiveness. However, flexible, on-site generation offers a solution to bridge the gap. This session explores how utilities can leverage dispatchable, clean on-site generation to unlock capacity using existing infrastructure, enhance grid reliability, and accelerate digital infrastructure deployment. With insights from recent research and real-world applications, we’ll demonstrate how grid operators, C&I customers, investors and policymakers can align to deploy fast, scalable energy solutions to power economic development.

Takeaways:

• Unlock headroom in existing grid infrastructure with flexible, on site generation alongside large load customers, like data centers
• Improve resilience with flexible alternatives to costly T&D upgrades
• Accelerate speed to power for digital infrastructure without wider rate impacts
