Announced at DTECH in San Diego, the expansion adds six new demonstration sites across the U.S. and Europe, bringing the total to nine active projects. These real-world demonstrations explore how data centers can support grid stability, reduce interconnection delays, and enable flexible energy use at scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compass is participating alongside a coalition of leading energy and technology organizations to test solutions ranging from AI-driven load flexibility and geospatial load shifting to renewable backup fuels and flexibility-by-design in new data center developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As data centers are projected to account for up to 9% of U.S. electricity demand by 2030, initiatives like DCFlex play a critical role in aligning infrastructure growth with grid modernization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
