Turn data center demand into local capacity and community value
This is the industry’s opportunity to work together to turn large-load growth into tangible value for the communities hosting it.
Rather than treating new load and community needs as opposing forces, BYODC creates a third path:
Engage, collaborate and build solutions that work for both.
The BYODC Network seeks to bring together hyperscalers, aggregators and utilities to leverage this moment.
This is our opportunity; Together, we can help modernize the electrical grid with distributed resources supported by new investment, creating local capacity, resilience and value.
The opportunity
Data centers are creating major new demand on the grid. At the same time, local communities could leverage hyperscaler dollars to modernize, electrify and reduce their energy costs.
But it won’t happen without communication, engagement and the right partners at the table.
Batteries. Solar and storage. EV chargers. Thermostats. Flexible loads.
BYODC is about turning those local resources into flexible capacity programs that support new load growth while creating value for residents, businesses and local energy partners.That could mean:
The model is still being shaped
The goal is to build a repeatable, scalable model; one that can be adapted to the needs of each market and community.
That’s why we’re bringing the right people together now.
Hyperscalers
IPPs
Utilities
Developers
Aggregators
Financiers
OEMs
Asset Owners
TPOs
Policy Experts
With a goal of answering the big questions
What can distributed resources realistically provide?
How should programs be funded and operated?
How should communities share in the value?
What will it take to scale?
Our first BYODC Network event is happening this November
