NRG, Constellation Among Launch Partners Of New AI Energy Management Alliance Founded By Emerald AI, Google, and NVIDIA
The following story is brought free of charge to readers by VertexOne, the exclusive EDI provider of EnergyChoiceMatters.com
Emerald AI, Google, and NVIDIA announced the launch of the AI Energy Management Alliance (AEMA).
"Led by founding members representing the full AI stack, AEMA advances flexible AI data centers that are good citizens on the electricity grid, dynamically adjusting their power draw to provide relief during periods of peak grid stress," AEMA said
As noted below, Constellation and NRG are among the launch partners of AEMA
Specifically, AEMA's founding members, "are joined by a group of 18 launch partners, spanning AI and semiconductor leaders, such as Anthropic and Analog Devices, and utility and power leaders, such as National Grid, AES, RWE, Constellation, and NRG," AEMA said
Frank Lacey, a veteran of the retail energy industry in addition to competitive energy and energy markets more broadly, will serve as AEMA’s Executive Director.
AEMA said, "Together, the membership will develop diverse approaches to power-flexible AI to unlock power capacity on today’s underutilized power grid, improve its reliability, and promote affordability by better using the grid we already have."
"As the United States rapidly builds out data center infrastructure, the primary limiting factor for deployment is no longer capital or silicon; it is power. Traditional grid interconnection processes designed for flat, static electricity demand are too slow and rigid to meet today’s unprecedented surge in power demand. AEMA will promote accelerated interconnections across the United States for flexible, grid-enhancing data centers using a diverse range of demand management technologies including colocated generation, storage, computational flexibility, and other approaches to dynamically respond to the grid’s needs and better utilize the existing power system," AEMA said
"By championing policies that recognize and value flexible AI demand, AEMA supports the nation’s competitiveness in AI innovation and deployment while strengthening grid reliability and protecting energy affordability for ratepayers," AEMA said
In addition to founding members Google, NVIDIA, and Emerald AI, the full list of inaugural members and launch partners are: AES, Analog Devices, Anthropic, Calibrant Energy, Camus, ClearPath, Constellation, Encoord, Fluence, Generate Capital, GridUnity, National Grid, NRG, PassKey, RWE, Splight, Verrus, and Voltus.
AEMA said that AEMA is the next evolution of the Advanced Energy Management Alliance, founded in 2014 to advance energy solutions while improving the efficiency of the electric grid.
