AI's energy needs are a big concern for utilities - but what if AI could also solve that problem?

Pilots are easy - scaling is hard. We hosted a fireside chat at @DISTRIBUTECH with Ian Black, COO of our portfolio startup @sensat_ai, to unpack how @nationalgrid is moving new technology from pilot to deployment. Learn the secrets: ngpartners.com/stories/positi…

🚀 Exciting news as @EmeraldAi_ launches our groundbreaking announcement with @nvidia , and America’s largest power producers. AI flexibility is the future, strengthening the grid and accelerating AI infrastructure deployment. 📣 Here at @CERAWeek, Emerald AI is launching our partnership with @TheAESCorp , @ConstellationEG , @InvenergyLLC , @nexteraenergy, @nscale Energy & Power, and @VistraCorp. This partnership reflects real momentum behind a new model for AI infrastructure, one led by companies with the scale to move markets and build what comes next. ⚡ “AI factories are the engines of the intelligence era, and like any great engine, every system must be designed together — energy, compute, networking and cooling as one architecture,” says Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of @nvidia . “NVIDIA and Emerald AI are working together to enable a future for AI where performance, efficiency and grid responsiveness can be tapped into immediately.” 📹 Last week at @NVIDIAGTC, Emerald AI announced with NVIDIA that Emerald Conductor now integrates with the DSX software architecture, enabling DSX Flex in practice and coordinating power flexibility with onsite energy resources to deliver greater value to the grid.

The first day of #CERAWeek 2026 set the tone for a week of bold conversations and forward-looking ideas, bringing together global energy leaders, policymakers, and innovators to tackle the industry’s most urgent challenges and opportunities.

Electricity demand is rising faster than infrastructure can keep pace. Traditional development timelines? Years. But demand? Already here. Sandy Grace, @nationalgrid VP of US Policy & Regulatory Strategy, shares how our startups are meeting the moment. 👇linkedin.com/pulse/like-new…

Extreme weather isn't slowing down so utility response times need to step up. @NationalGrid is meeting that challenge with Storm Manager, an #AI-powered platform from @Urbint. 🌍⚡ bit.ly/4rUebrl

What if AI data centers could actually help stabilize the grid — instead of straining it? A new project involving @nationalgrid, @nvidia, @EPRINews, and @EmeraldAi_ is proving exactly that. Read the story from @Bloomberg’s @EamonFarhat: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Infrastructure planning is getting a serious upgrade. 🌍 Our portfolio company @sensat_ai is working with @nationalgrid in the UK, and the results speak for themselves. Watch how they're doing it on this week’s #MeetUsMonday!👇

Today at @CERAWeek, our president, Robert Gaudette, talked with @JulieFineTX from @BloombergTV about the growing demand for electricity. Hear about our data center strategy, new generation we’re bringing online, and the actions we’re taking to help our customers manage costs. youtu.be/F7GXC4Au8dI?si… #CERAWeek #NRGatCERAWeek

Employees from Exelon and @Pepcoconnect joined Exelon President and CEO @CalvinGButler, Exelon COO Mike Innocenzo and Pepco CEO Tyler Anthony to pack food kits for local nonprofit, @MarthasTableorg. We’re inspired by everyone who took the time to volunteer!

Speaking with @BloombergTV at @CERAWeek, Constellation President & CEO Joe Dominguez explains how long-term deals to power the data center economy support investments in reliability and added capacity across our nuclear fleet. Full interview ↙️ 📺 bloom.bg/4d7nm38

Duke Energy has a 125-year track record of helping communities navigate major economic and energy transitions like what we’re witnessing with the rise of AI data centers. At #CERAWeek, Duke Energy CEO Harry Sideris discussed how utilities are evolving to meet growing demand.

The energy at #DTECH2026 was electric. ⚡ Hundreds of conversations sparked about #AI, grid modernization, startup-utility partnerships, and the technologies shaping the grid's future If you missed us in San Diego, here are a few snapshots. 📸

The NextGrid Alliance believes startup innovation + utility scale is the fastest way to the future of energy. Great to see our Alliance member @Equinor sharing success stories like these!
