NVIDIA and Emerald AI Join Leading Energy Companies to Pioneer Flexible AI Factories as Grid Assets

NVIDIA and Emerald AI announced a collaboration with major energy and utility partners to power and advance flexible AI factories connected to the grid.
The collaboration centers on the DSX AI Factory reference design and DSX Flex software to link AI facilities with grid services and energy resources.
Emerald AI's Conductor will orchestrate compute flexibility with onsite generation and storage to support grid-responsive AI traffic.
Executives said AI factories must be designed as an integrated energy, compute, networking and cooling system to maximize efficiency.
The group aims to unlock significant grid capacity by using intelligent, flexible AI loads connected to distributed energy resources.
Industry leaders stressed AI infrastructure must scale quickly to meet rising demand while keeping the grid reliable.
The effort could speed AI deployment by using co-located generation and storage as bridge power for hybrid AI factories.
Key executives highlighted the initiative as strengthening U.S. energy leadership and AI deployment resilience.
The announcement was made during CERAWeek 2026 and involves several large energy and technology players.
The release notes potential future deployment at the NVIDIA AI Factory Research Center in Virginia.
