Grid Capacity Expansion under Data Centers and Electrified Manufacturing Large Loads
arXiv:2605.29053v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In this paper, we consider the expansion of power grids under emerging large loads from data centers and electrified manufacturing. We develop a multi-period grid capacity expansion model to determine optimal investment profiles for power generation, storage, and transmission capacity while accounting for hourly power dispatch, such that electricity demand is satisfied and the total planning and operation cost is minimized. We also propose...
Optimal transmission expansion modestly reduces decarbonization costs of U.S. electricity
arXiv:2402.14189v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Major government studies and policy reports project that substantial expansion of interregional transmission will be needed to integrate clean energy and ensure reliability in decarbonized power systems. Using the open-source Switch capacity expansion model with detailed representation of existing U.S. generation and transmission infrastructure, solar, wind, and storage resources, and hourly operations, we evaluate the role of...
Modelling Scenarios for Carbon-aware Geographic Load Shifting of Compute Workloads
arXiv:2509.07043v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We present an analytical model to evaluate the reductions in emissions resulting from geographic load shifting. This model is optimistic as it ignores issues of grid capacity, demand and curtailment. In other words, real-world reductions will be smaller than the estimates.
Datacenter growth may run into a power wall by 2030
Energy consumed by datacenters is set to grow 26 percent this year thanks to AI, and grid supply may be unable to keep pace with demand by 2030, Gartner warns. The research giant expects global datacenter electricity consumption to reach 565 terawatt-hours (TWh) in 2026, as power demand rises from 104 GW in 2025 to 132 GW this year. This is higher than the 500 TWh per year Gartner estimated two years ago that AI-optimized servers would consume by 2027.
Is Europe's heatwave bad news for renewables? Surge in solar turns power prices negative
Soaring temperatures can actually hinder some kinds of renewable energy output, even sun-absorbing solar. Europe has been baking amid its first major heatwave of the season, with the UK and France experiencing record May temperatures. Sunny skies have caused a surge in solar power output, resulting in negative electricity prices in some parts of Europe - where the wholesale market of electricity dips below zero due to supply outstripping demand.
Stuck on oil: Can Hawaii power itself?
Stuck on oil: Can Hawaii power itself? June 4, 2026A chain of islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean without domestic oil or gas reserves, the 50th US state has long relied on imported fossil fuels to power its economy. Foreign petroluem fuels much of the energy grid, and the sea and air transport that Hawaii relies on to move people and goods — and to deliver the near 10 million annual tourists to its shores.

When AI Builds Itself: Our progress toward recursive self-improvement
For most of AI’s history, humans drove every step in its development cycle. But at Anthropic, we are delegating a growing share of AI development to AI systems themselves, which is speeding up our work. Taken far enough, and given enough compute, that trend points to an AI system capable of fully autonomously designing and developing its own successor.

Southern energy corridors set to dominate supplies to Europe, global leaders say
The rapid reshape of global energy supply routes and markets is a key focus at the Baku Energy Week 2026. Opening Baku Energy Week 2026, Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev said the “world cannot live without fossil fuels,” while also insisting that countries “should be judged on how they invest in renewables.” Speaking about Azerbaijan’s role in global energy markets, Aliyev said it was “difficult to imagine what the European market would look like without the South Caucasus,” underscoring...
