    Google Accelerator Selects Camus Energy to Deploy AI Grid Software with Major Utilities

    Question

    Google Accelerator Selects Camus Energy to Deploy AI Grid Software with Major Utilities

    Direct answer

    Google selected startup Camus Energy for a 10-week energy-focused accelerator program aimed at AI infrastructure power constraints. The startup will demonstrate its FlexConnect software to major utilities including Duke Energy, Edison International, and PG&E. The initiative focuses on enabling AI data centers to coordinate power loads with regional utility grids, addressing the interconnection and power delivery backlogs that constrain hyperscaler compute scaling.
