Matt Smith(@nerdalert):I had the pleasure to speak with @arushiSF, Tesla's former energy policy lead, and the architect of a new rule which will allow for better utilization of the grid and faster time to power for data center (and other!) customers in Texas. This was one of my favorite conversations in the last few years!

'Rewriting AI Power Policy with Arushi Sharma Frank' AI's biggest bottleneck is electricity. With a massive five-year wait to plug new infrastructure into the Texas ERCOT power grid, data centers face a major roadblock. In this video, @nerdalert sits down with energy policy expert @ArushiSF to discuss the groundbreaking new rule she pioneered: Provisional Controllable Load Resource (PCLR), which is a tech-neutral framework that allows AI data centers to bypass interconnect gridlock, privatize delivery risk, and secure fast, flexible power. Beyond AI power policy, Arushi shares insights from her time as Elon Musk’s policy lead for Tesla Energy.
