Rewiring America

Could we get hyperscalers to buy heat pumps for households? Ari Matusiak and Carla Peterman join me to discuss a wild new idea: getting data centers to pay for your next heat pump.

Today on Volts: the folks at @rewiringamerica.bsky.social have an idea. Hyperscalers desperately need to free up grid capacity for data centers, right? Why not let them buy that capacity by paying for residential heat pumps & solar/storage systems? I discuss it w/ the head of RW & a rep from PG&E.

Thanks for listening!

This was such a great convo with @rewiringamerica.bsky.social’s CEO Ari Matusiak. And that is indeed my favorite quote. 🔌 Listen here: www.getitright.earth/podcast

We're going to the electric store with Ari Matusiak Listen now | And get your clean energy tax credits before December 31st!

“Get yourself a tax credit. Get yourself an electric coach. Get yourself a contractor. And get yourself something electric at the electric store.”

New report: Household upgrades could offset all new projected data center energy demand | Rewiring America Our report, Homegrown Energy, finds household upgrades are the best, fastest solution for increasing energy demand.

Our nation’s electricity demand is growing. And the solution could be in your yard, garage, or on your roof.

Our new Homegrown Energy report explains how rapid investment in electric home upgrades could meet 100% of data centers’ projected electrify demand: www.rewiringamerica.org/research/hom...

Solar and batteries had a record-setting, grid-stabilizing summer in… Solar has set 17 power generation records in Texas so far this year, shoring up the grid alongside batteries as some gas plant developers step back.

Solar and batteries go together like chips and queso — and they’ve won Texas over.

Solar power generation has set 17 records there so far this year, and battery storage has already had four discharge records this month 💪 www.canarymedia.com/articles/sol...

And that’s not all. Immediate investments in these solutions would accelerate the technological and economic pathways for an all-electric economy — positioning the U.S. as a global leader in 21st-century industries.

And these appliances don’t just help out the grid. They lower household energy bills, create cleaner air by cutting pollution, and provide more resilience to power outages. All around win.

The plan: install energy-efficient heat pumps, rooftop solar panels, and home batteries in homes across America. Our report shows that hyperscalers could secure grid capacity by helping American households upgrade their appliances — all at costs similar to building new gas power plants.

Data centers need a lot of juice — but we’ve got the power 🔋

Our new analysis shows that U.S. households could provide enough capacity to meet 100% of the projected electricity demand growth from data centers.
