Consumer Regulated Electricity: The Path to Faster, Reliable Power Solutions?
Why should data centers be interested in Consumer Regulated Electricity (CRE)? "Data centers would benefit from more than speed and innovation. They would gain control over their electricity supply. Today their supply is controlled by some hodgepodge of the utility, state regulator, state policy, federal regulator (Federal Energy Regulatory Commission), federal policy, and often, federally regulated Regional Transmission Organization (RTO) or Independent System Operator (ISO). There can be no control nor certainty in such a messy situation."
