Rising electricity demand in data centers poses threat to grid stability - Cozzy Energy Solutions The rapid expansion of AI data centers along the East Coast is posing significant concerns about grid instability in regions like PJM, which serves 67 million people across 13 states. As data center electricity consumption continues to rise, projections from ICF International forecast a substantial increase in US power demand by 2050, largely driven by the growth of these facilities in Northern Virginia and elsewhere. With the slow pace of replacing aging power plants and limited voluntary reductions from tech companies, PJM is facing a critical challenge in maintaining grid reliability as it develops a new proposal to address peak energy demands, which may require cooperation from various stakeholders and could leave customers vulnerable to intermittent blackouts.

#AI #powerusage #alcenters I have an idea. With all these new AI centers being built posing a huge drain on already sparse resources, why not make a condition of construstion that they use renewable energy sources, i.e. solar panels on the roof, to help meet their power requirements.

Google agrees to curb power use for AI data centers to ease strain on US grid when demand surges By Laila Kearney NEW YORK, August 4 (Reuters) -Google has signed agreements with two U.S. electric utilities to reduce its AI data center power consumption during times of surging demand on the grid, the company said on Monday, as energy-intensive AI use outpaces power supplies. Utilities in the country have been inundated with requests for electricity for Big Tech’s AI data centers, with demand eclipsing total available power supplies in some areas. That power crunch has led to concerns about spiking bills for everyday homes and business and blackouts. It has also complicated the technology industry’s expansion of AI, which requires massive amounts of electricity - fast. Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL)’s agreements with Indiana Michigan Power and Tennessee Power Authority would involve scaling back power use at the technology giant’s data centers when called upon by the electric utilities to free up space on the grid. They are the first formal agreements by Google in demand-response programs with utilities to temporarily curtail its machine learning workloads, a subset of artificial intelligence. "It allows large electricity loads like data centers to be interconnected more quickly, helps reduce the need to build new transmission and power plants, and helps grid operators more effectively and efficiently manage power grids," Google said in a blog post. Demand-response programs have typically been used by other energy-intensive industries like heavy manufacturing or cryptocurrency mining. In exchange, the businesses generally receive payments or reduced power bills. While demand-response agreements apply only to a small portion of demand on the grid, the arrangements might become more common as U.S. electricity supply tightens.

Question about power usage: is playing audio over your phone speaker more power efficient compared to playing it over a BT speaker?

Yes, I know, you have to charge the BT speaker.

I'm only talking about the phone's power usage.

A smart power usage display showing the power consumption for a typical house while only having devices on standby power, usage is 81 watts, costing approximately £0.01 per hour.

Looks like I have reached a new low today.
For standby power that is.
The only devices in the house that are drawing power are on standby, my house is using about 80W.
