Federal regulators order grid operators to speed power to energy-hungry AI data centers

WASHINGTON — Federal regulators have ordered regional grid operators to help large energy users connect more quickly to the nation’s inefficient and aging electric transmission system. They’re saying it’s a step needed to accommodate surging demand from power-hungry artificial intelligence data centers. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission said its order leaves states in control of retail electric rates, terms and conditions. The commission’s actions come as a backlash grows against data centers over concerns about the massive amounts of energy and water they use and fears about noise and air pollution, water shortages and a loss of open space or farmland.
