National Grid partners with GridCare to uncover hidden power capacity in New York
12 articles · Updated · The Information · Apr 27
National Grid signed with GridCare last month to identify untapped power in its New York service area, leveraging AI-driven analysis of utility data.
GridCare’s technology can locate spare capacity within six to twelve months, potentially doubling U.S. grid utilization and unlocking up to 300 gigawatts nationwide, benefiting data centers and utilities.
This approach could reduce the need for costly new infrastructure, lower consumer rates, and help meet soaring AI-related power demands, though utilities have historically resisted efficiency innovations.
Tech giants are now funding grid upgrades. Who ensures this new power benefits the public, not just them?
Is doubling our power grid's capacity a brilliant efficiency hack or a disaster waiting to happen?
Can a 'code instead of copper' startup truly modernize America's 19th-century power grid?
As AI gets the keys to our power grid, are we creating a backdoor for catastrophic cyberattacks?
If we can find power for 150 Hoover Dams, what other massive inefficiencies hide in our infrastructure?
