   Emerald AI’s software links utilities to data centers, enabling demand-response pauses or load shifts that could free up 100 GW of grid capacity for new centers. The AI Energy Management Alliance, formed with Google, Nvidia, Anthropic, AES, Constellation, National Grid, and NRG Energy, aims to integrate this capability into data-center development. Emerald AI recently secured $150 million in Series A funding to expand deployment.
