Making flexibility work: A concrete framework for the DOE large load proposal
AI Article Summary
The U.S. Department of Energy has proposed a system for interconnecting data centers to the electric grid, focusing on load flexibility. However, specifics of the implementation were not detailed, prompting energy experts and a former FERC commissioner to offer insights. These insights aim to fill the gaps in the proposal to better guide its successful execution.
What This Means for Canadian Contractors
