Google, Nvidia and Anthropic want Emerald AI to find space on the grid for more data centers

AnnouncementFundingSep 17, 2026

Emerald AI has formed the AI Energy Management Alliance (AEMA) with Google and Nvidia, joined by Anthropic and utilities AES, Constellation, National Grid, and NRG Energy, to make demand response part of data center development. The coalition says pausing noncritical tasks and shifting compute loads could allow an additional 100 gigawatts of data centers to connect to the grid. Emerald AI's software connects utilities directly to data centers, enabling fast responses to grid requests.
