History

Historical Context

Congress’s 2007 Energy Independence and Security Act created a 20 % matching grant and, together with the 2009 ARRA-funded $11 billion smart-grid program, launched nine pilot projects targeting a 15 % peak-load cut. Building on that framework, the 2015 DOE Smart Grid Investment Grant allocated $2.5 billion, enabling Microsoft and Google to commit $1.2 billion in AI-driven data-center pilots.
