LōD and NuEnergen Team Up at Data Center World 2025 to Accelerate Grid-Readiness for Hyperscale Data Centers
Vancouver, BC, April 8, 2025 — As AI, HPC, and hyperscale datacenters grow, so does the pressure on the electricity grid. Interconnection delays, energy prices, and growing regulatory mandates are driving data centers to rethink how they consume and manage energy.
At Data Center World 2025, LōD and NuEnergen are announcing a strategic collaboration that enables large-scale data centers to become grid-ready—through real-time compute routing, energy source management, and deep market expertise.
Flexibility Is Becoming a Requirement
In several regions, large power users—including data centers—are being required or incentivized to participate in demand response programs. Utilities are prioritizing flexible loads in interconnection queues, meaning data centers that can dynamically reduce or shift load have a faster path to capacity.
This shift is transforming energy from a fixed cost into a dynamic opportunity.
“We’re seeing a clear trend: If you’re not flexible, you’re falling behind.,” said Medi Naseri, CEO of LōD.
“Large loads flexibility defines their interconnection timeline, cost of power and expansion opportunities, With our platform, data centers don’t need to compromise on uptime to meet grid needs. We give them the tools to act like a flexible load- by routing compute workloads in real-time, scheduling deferrable tasks and avoiding peaks.”
LōD’s Platform: Built for Intelligent Compute + Energy Strategy
LōD’s platform gives data centers full visibility and control over energy and workload routing, enabling:
- Real-time workload routing and scheduling based on power price, grid demand, carbon emission, or reliability
- Energy source management between grid, on-site generation, and batteries
- IoT- based insights across power, cooling, and infrastructure performance
These capabilities allow operators to:
- Avoid price spikes and peak demands to reduce OpEx
- Open new revenue channels via grid program participation
- Qualify as flexible loads to accelerate grid interconnection timelines
NuEnergen’s Role: Navigating Energy Markets with Confidence
NuEnergen brings decades of experience in:
- Demand response and capacity, ancillary, and energy market participation
- Strategic energy procurement strategies and forecasted energy modeling
- Utility tariff and rate audits
Their services help align energy strategy with financial outcomes, giving data centers confidence to operate more flexibly while maximizing value.
“When we align energy strategy with market dynamics, everyone wins,” said Herrick O’Connor, Vice President, Sales & Marketing at NuEnergen.
“This collaboration with LōD brings the operational flexibility and real-time intelligence our clients need to turn that flexibility into competitive advantage.”
Why It Matters for Hyperscalers
This partnership offers a clear path for hyperscale and flexible data centers to:
- Reduce energy costs by avoiding peak pricing
- Accelerate interconnection timelines through load flexibility
- Monetize participation in grid and capacity programs
- Respond to regulatory mandates without sacrificing uptime
