What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Proceed with caution

Why
Real, repeated, peer-documented demonstrations (25-40% reduction across multiple cities) and a deep partner ecosystem give it genuine substance, but the value depends on grid-operator acceptance and enforceability that remain unproven.
Next
Watch the Aurora 96 MW Manassas facility's first live-grid results and any PJM/RTO program-level enforcement framework before relying on data-center flex as firm capacity.
