GoKawiilGrid-tech founders say AI data center demand is spurring modernization efforts
At TechCrunch Disrupt, executives from Weavegrid, Veir, and Rewiring America argued that surging electricity demand from AI data centers, EVs, and heat pumps is pushing utilities to adopt new technologies rather than simply straining an aging grid. Weavegrid's software helps utilities manage and orchestrate load across these new connections, while Veir builds superconductive power lines that it says carry power five times farther using 20 times less space than conventional cables.
