Introducing the Grid Protectors Program

A company is launching the Grid Protectors Program to make data center campuses flexible with electricity demand, reducing power use when the grid is strained. Starting with an Effingham County campus in Georgia, the company committed to pay full infrastructure costs and provide up to 1,000 megawatts of flexible demand response, equivalent to powering roughly 700,000 households. The program aims to help utilities manage peak demand and reduce costly grid infrastructure upgrades by using more electricity when available and reducing consumption during strain periods.
