Google and Tesla join Utilize to push faster upgrades to the power grid
Google, Tesla, and several other major companies have thrown their weight behind Utilize, a coalition campaign aimed at squeezing more performance out of the existing U.S. power grid rather than waiting years for new transmission lines to be built. The effort, which also includes Carrier and other industry players, targets a problem that has quietly worsened as data centers, electric vehicles, and AI workloads drive electricity demand sharply upward.
