On August 5, Beijing time, Reuters reported that Google announced on Monday it had entered into agreements with two U.S. power utility companies. The agreements stipulate that during peak hours of grid usage, Google will curtail the electricity consumption of its AI data centers. This measure aims to alleviate the pressure on the power supply, which has been strained by the soaring energy demands of AI technology. As AI becomes increasingly power-intensive, its electricity requirements in some regions have surpassed local supply capacities, placing a significant burden on the grid. Google's initiative seeks to strike a balance between power supply and demand, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the U.S. power grid.
