⚡ America's largest power grid is struggling to meet demand from AI • Reuters

「 Electricity bills are projected to surge by more than 20% this summer in some parts of PJM Interconnection's territory, which covers 13 states - from Illinois to Tennessee, Virginia to New Jersey - serving 67 million customers in a region with the most data centers in the world 」

My recently acquired battery energy backup pack just saved all the food in our Fridge/Freezer during an extended blackout. Can’t live comfortably without one in these days of uncertainty, infrastructure stress, and system failures. Especially when it’s freaking HOT 🔥. So I ordered two more add’l battery packs to enhance the one we already have. Bought the first one with a portable solar power generator which can re-charge it in a few hours of sun. We’ll use that to charge the new ones as well. In an ideal, people-first world, battery backup on a neighborhood scale would be automatically provided by local and regional governments. That would make sense financially over the long run, and save lives right away and in perpetuity. I’m not holding my breath, tho… #energy #PowerOutage #PowerGrid #EnergyGrid #battery

Energy and AI Observatory
The IEA’s Energy and AI Observatory provides up-to-date data and analysis on the growing links between the energy sector and artificial intelligence (AI). The new and fast-moving field of AI requires a new approach to gathering data and information, and the Observatory aims to provide regularly updated data and a comprehensive view of the implications of AI on energy demand (energy for AI) and of AI applications for efficiency, innovation, resilience and competitiveness in the energy sector (AI for energy). This first-of-a-kind platform is developed and maintained by the IEA, with valuable contributions of data and insights from the IEA’s energy industry and tech sector partners, and complements the IEA's Special Report on Energy and AI.
