Summary
A 20-member coalition launched on 16 September with Google, Nvidia and Emerald AI as prominent participants, alongside companies including Anthropic, National Grid, AES, Constellation, NRG and RWE. Its focus is flexible AI data-centre load, although the group is a relaunch of a largely inactive 2014 alliance and does not itself commit specific projects.
Why it matters
AI infrastructure is becoming part of the electricity-system debate, with workload flexibility emerging as a possible way to reduce grid stress and political opposition.
