Bipartisan Energy Strategy Offers Relief From Soaring Power Bills Amid AI Boom

As AI data centers drive unprecedented energy demand across the United States, a bipartisan solution called demand flexibility is gaining traction. This approach rewards consumers for reducing power usage during peak times, potentially preventing blackouts and lowering bills.

The Grid Strain Solution Gaining Bipartisan Support

With artificial intelligence data centers dramatically increasing power consumption across the United States, a policy solution called “demand flexibility” could help ease grid strain while lowering household energy bills, according to reports. This bipartisan approach essentially rewards customers for using less power during periods of high demand or for selling excess energy from home solar panels back to the grid.
