Varun Sivaram published an op-ed in Fortune explaining the rationale behind the alliance, arguing that data centers should operate as "good citizens" of the power grid by flexibly consuming energy to ease strain during peak hours. He noted that flexible data centers could unlock approximately 100 gigawatts on the existing grid and reduce grid utilization requirements, citing Brattle Group analysis that each 10% gain in utilization lowers rates by about 3.4%.
“If data centers change how they operate to support the communities that host them, they should be rewarded with faster access to power.”
