The power demands of AI data centers are skyrocketing—but how will we meet them?
In this episode, James sits down with Tyler Norris (Duke University) and Kyle Baranko (Paces) to dig into two influential white papers offering different solutions. One explores off-grid, solar-plus-storage microgrids as a fast, clean option. The other highlights how we can better utilize existing grid capacity by embracing flexible interconnections and load curtailment.
Together, they explore:
- The case for behind-the-meter energy systems
- How hyperscaler reliability demands shape power strategies
- What ERCOT is getting right—and where other markets are lagging
- The regulatory, financial, and technical barriers to scaling solutions fast
If you're working on energy, data infrastructure, or just curious about how AI’s growth will reshape the grid—this one’s for you.
Paces helps developers find and evaluate the sites most suitable for renewable development. Interested in a call with James, CEO @ Paces?
