A major watchdog claims that data centers are wreaking havoc on the power grid
북미 전력망 감독 기관인 NERC가 데이터 센터, 특히 AI 워크로드를 수행하는 센터들이 전력망에 심각한 위험을 초래한다고 경고하며 최고 수준인 Level 3 경보를 발령했다. 데이터 센터의 급격한 전력 사용 변동은 전력망의 안정성을 위협하며, 기존의 대응 절차로는 실시간 대응이 어렵다. NERC는 8월 3일까지 위험 완화 계획 제출을 요구하며, 전력망 운영자들이 즉각적인 조치를 취할 것을 촉구했다. 이 문제는 AI 훈련뿐 아니라 암호화폐 채굴과 전통적 데이터 센터도 포함된다.
