AI workloads demand megawatts upon megawatts of reliable power, with the appetite for compute only set to grow. In many regions, it is clear that the grid will simply not be able to meet this demand robustly. Therefore, operators must take power into their own hands to secure their supply. Is developing microgrids becoming a non-negotiable for data centers looking to scale in line with AI? In this episode, we explore:

• The critical role of decentralized power in an AI age
• How unparalleled resilience is achieved through utilizing power protection technologies
• Going beyond island mode: Leveraging microgrids to give back to the utility
• Drawing on practical examples to highlight the tangible benefits of energy independence
