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 Portland General Electric and Aligned Data Centers, Calibrant Energy 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 Calibrant, Aligned, and PGE discuss how flexible, grid-integrated energy solutions can enable responsible, accelerated growth for the data center industry, including:
- Developing the Aligned BESS project from concept to collaboration
- Right-sizing the solution to meet both utility and data center needs
- Applying lessons learned to scale this model across capacity-constrained regions
