DCFlex will feature at least 10 field demonstration projects to explore how data centers can operate more flexibly and integrate more seamlessly with the electric grid. These real-world "living laboratories" bring together key players from across industry sectors to test a range of use cases like load flexibility, power quality, and backup power. By selecting diverse sites-varying in geography, market structure, size, and technology-DCFlex aims to develop practical strategies and tools that support the growing energy demands of AI and digital infrastructure. The insights gained will help shape industry standards and frameworks to accelerate grid connections and reduce barriers to adoption.
