Dominion Energy Inc. CEO Bob Blue has expressed concerns about the impact of data centers and artificial intelligence on the company's low-carbon goals.
He explained that the increasing energy demand from these sources creates a conflict between maintaining grid reliability and reducing carbon emissions.
Blue emphasized the limited opportunities for developing zero-emissions generation that can effectively respond to fluctuations in supply and demand. He also highlighted the challenges of phasing out fossil fuel power plants due to rising energy demands, emphasizing the physical limitations of energy production and consumption.
