Accelerating Speed to Power and Unlocking Innovation with Virtual Power Plants

Flexing data center load through demand response and virtual power plants (VPPs) provides a proven, fast and cost-effective way to power the innovative energy economy.

In an interview with Data Center Dynamics at Yotta 2025, CPower Energy’s David Chernis shared how the latest innovations in energy technology unlock the full potential of flexible energy and drive economic growth powered by artificial intelligence. In dispelling falsehoods about the feasibility of using data centers as critical grid assets, he illustrates the importance of designing data centers for a future in which flexibility speeds connection to power and automation spurs efficiency.
