Want to get a data center online quickly? Give it some flex.
Data centers face a critical bottleneck: connecting to strained power grids. "Flexible" data centers, which can temporarily reduce consumption during peak demand, offer a solution. By enabling faster grid integration, this approach accelerates infrastructure deployment, a key constraint for 2026 AI scaling. This shifts the 2026 economy's focus from pure compute to energy-efficient, grid-responsive operations.
