Not all megawatts are created equal. Distributed capacity helps data centers avoid curtailment, relieves grid constraints, and creates community benefits. That's the value of a premium megawatt.

www.latitudemedia.com Has the industry been talking about distributed capacity all wrong? Distributed megawatts are slower and more expensive, says Sparkfund CEO Pier LaFarge. Hyperscalers should deploy them anyway.

A recent American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) Summer Study paper from @BerkeleyLab examines how aggregated demand flexibility can help address localized distribution constraints and finds that location plays a significant role in how helpful those resources are.

It sounds obvious, but megawatts on a spreadsheet don’t help if they’re not available where the constraint exists. Utilities need distributed resources they can plan around and connect to real grid needs.
