Enchanted Rock, a prominent provider of electrical resiliency microgrids, has launched its latest offering, the Bridge-to-Grid solution. This innovative service addresses the rising power demand fueled by the expansion of data centers with artificial intelligence (AI), the electrification of buildings and transportation, and new or expanding manufacturing operations. Enhancing Operational Flexibility The Bridge-to-Grid managed service by Enchanted Rock offers short to mid-term onsite generation before grid interconnection. This allows data centers and other power-intensive industries to build, commission, and fully operate their facilities on schedule. Once grid interconnection is complete, the onsite microgrid technology can be removed with no long-term site impacts or can remain to provide local power resiliency and flexible power capacity support to the grid. Enchanted Rock’s CEO, Thomas McAndrew, emphasizes the importance of these flexible approaches to grid integration and power generation. He highlights that a reliable power supply is crucial in today’s interconnected world. Reimagining the challenge through this lens, the path forward becomes evident: microgrids offer the necessary flexibility for data centers to commence operations sooner while mitigating grid strain. Addressing Grid Connection Delays Businesses with large power loads are facing unprecedented delays in securing grid power due to factors such as clogged […]
