Behind-the-meter generation could deliver five times more grid relief than data center load shifting

Ember's analysis shows that behind-the-meter generation and storage at data centers can provide up to five times more grid demand relief than workload shifting, especially in high-demand areas like Ireland and Texas. Regulatory approaches in Ireland now require data centers over 10 MW to provide onsite generation or storage to enhance grid flexibility while cautioning against fossil fuel reliance that could hinder decarbonization.
