💨 Abstract

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) held a technical conference to discuss concerns over the growing trend of energy-intensive data centers being built near U.S. power plants. The issue revolves around quick access to large amounts of electricity, with co-location being a possible solution. However, questions have been raised about potential higher power bills for consumers and reliability concerns, as the data centers could divert power from the grid.
