A path to faster data center deployment
As surging load growth pushes today’s power grids to their limits, data centers are increasingly facing delays tied to interconnection and capacity constraints. In partnership with Calibrant Energy and Portland General Electric, Aligned Data Centers is pioneering a first-of-its-kind battery energy storage project designed to bring large-scale data center campuses online years faster, while supporting grid reliability. In this episode, leaders from Aligned, Calibrant, and PGE discuss how flexible, grid-integrated energy solutions can enable responsible, accelerated growth for the data center industry, including:
- Applying lessons learned to scale this model across capacity-constrained regions
- Developing the Aligned BESS project from concept to collaboration
- Right-sizing the solution to meet both utility and data center needs
