- Google has signed new utility agreements with Indiana Michigan Power and Tennessee Valley Authority to deliver demand response capabilities targeting machine learning workloads.
- These efforts aim to help grid operators manage rising energy demands by reducing or shifting data center power usage during high-stress periods.
- The initiative supports Google’s 24/7 carbon-free energy goal and helps avoid costly infrastructure expansion by making large electricity loads more flexible.
Google is scaling up its efforts to make data centers more energy-flexible through new utility agreements designed to support growing power demands — particularly from AI workloads — while strengthening grid reliability.
