As data centers grow larger, more distributed, and more tightly coupled to grid constraints, onsite generation is no longer just a backup strategy. Gas engines are increasingly being evaluated for base-load or prime power, grid-parallel operation, and hybrid microgrids supporting artificial intelligence (AI) workloads and high-availability campuses. Yet many energy models still assume one thing ...
Governor Kathy Hochul this week announced $12 million is now available to support innovative technologies in New York that help to improve the efficiency of delivering clean energy to the state’s electric grid.
