"How are grids changing? Isn't it still just... wires?" I was asked this a few times at CERAWeek. Here are just a few examples of what's really happening: ▶️ As the UK prepares for over 6 GW of data centre deployments on the grid by 2030, we're investing in Emerald AI software that can adjust the power usage of data centres, flexing their demand to support the whole system. ▶️ In New York, we’re using technology to safely move more electricity through existing power lines, helping deliver power faster while limiting the need for new infrastructure. ▶️ In Massachusetts, we’re combining AI with advanced satellite data to identify risks like vegetation damage earlier, reducing outages and improving reliability for families and businesses. The world has changed. We're not just delivering energy for today, we're rebuilding the grid for the future. That’s why we’ve announced nearly $100bn of capital investment through to 2031 - one of the largest infrastructure programmes across the UK and Northeast US. Thanks to [the legendary] Daniel Yergin for a great discussion on the future of power. #CERAWeek 🎥 S&P Global CERAWeek
