Allan Schurr, PE will participate in a panel session at this week’s Microgrid Knowledge Conference, where industry leaders are discussing how load growth and distributed energy solutions are reshaping grid reliability. 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗜 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲: 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗱 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗛𝘆𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 📅 Wednesday, May 6, 2026 | 4 – 5 PM ET | Oceans Ballroom 1 Allan will join Dennis Garrett and Ishan Jaithwa to examine how AI-driven load growth is challenging traditional infrastructure. They will explore new approaches to scalable onsite power that support reliability and reduce grid strain by enabling data centers to operate as active grid partners. If you're attending, be sure to catch this session. You can also connect with Allan on LinkedIn to continue the discussion or to learn more about ERock’s approach to onsite power generation. https://lnkd.in/guYfefxy

We’re excited to welcome John Abraham, Jason Cavalli, and Kevin Quille to ERock’s data center team. Their experience across hyperscale, colocation, and enterprise environments strengthens our ability to help customers: ✔️ Secure near-term, dispatchable capacity ✔️ Accelerate time-to-power with greater certainty ✔️ Maintain reliability while working in coordination with the grid Our onsite power solutions are designed to complement the grid, helping operators and utilities address near-term power needs while aligning with long-term infrastructure plans. Welcome to the team!

ERCOT's revised load outlook reinforces the market reality that Texas demand growth is accelerating. Planning models must adapt accordingly. The operator’s preliminary filing projects demand could reach 367,790 MW by 2032. ERCOT is tracking approximately 410 GW of large-load requests, with 87% tied to data centers. That level of demand entering the market requires faster deployment models and disciplined planning. As the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) evaluates next steps, policymakers should prioritize solutions that add capacity quickly and preserve reliability while protecting ratepayers from unnecessary costs. Flexible onsite generation is well positioned to meet that need. It improves speed to power for large loads and provides dispatchable support during peak conditions, reducing pressure on transmission infrastructure. A flexible approach like this aligns growth with reliability and affordability.

This past weekend, the ERock team came together for our annual company picnic to celebrate with coworkers, families, and friends. It was a welcome opportunity to step away from our daily routine and recognize the people who make our company culture strong. The day included great food and plenty of ways to enjoy time together, including field games, batting bays, and a variety of activities for the kids. A crowd favorite was the ERock Maker Place, hosted by our O&M Training team, where you could become a “certified circuit maker” and build your own robot using simple motors. Future engineers of all ages joined in the fun. Events like this reflect the importance of teamwork, strong relationships, and a workplace where everyone feels valued. Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the day such a success. We appreciate all that our team does throughout the year, and we are proud to celebrate ERock together.

Power availability is a critical factor for data center growth, putting speed to power, grid reliability, and scalable delivery at the center of industry strategy. In his latest article, Allan Schurr, PE Schurr explains why EPRI’s Flex MOSAIC initiative is an important step toward advancing large load flexibility that can help accelerate deployment timelines while meeting rising demand responsibly.   ERock is executing this model today through dispatchable onsite generation. Broader alignment among utilities, operators, and developers will be key to scaling standardized solutions and integrating large loads more effectively. Read Allan’s article to learn how flexible power models can support the next phase of data center growth.

AI-driven load growth is rapidly pushing energy infrastructure to the center of policy discussions. In his latest article, Joel Yu explores the tradeoffs shaping how this demand is met—from grid expansion to onsite generation—and what it takes to ensure power strategies support reliability, cost allocation, and ratepayer protection, consistent with emerging policy priorities. His article outlines how grid-integrated approaches that combine centralized infrastructure with flexible onsite generation can help meet speed-to-power requirements while reducing pressure on utility systems and creating more balanced costs. A big thank you to Joel for showing that the path forward connects infrastructure growth with both policy objectives and long-term system sustainability. You can read his full article below.

Large load growth is often framed as a strain on the grid, but our own Joel Molander suggests a more strategic approach that can strengthen the system when large loads are integrated effectively. In his article published by T&D World, Joel highlights how AI-driven demand is challenging traditional planning models while also creating an opportunity to rethink system design. He dives deeper into the proven concept of locating dispatchable generation near load centers to reduce reliance on transmission and to defer infrastructure investment, all while enabling participation in energy and capacity markets to lower total cost of service. Read the full article to find out how new large loads can be integrated to support reliability, affordability, and grid security. https://ow.ly/uPEB50YJVvt
