All good things must come to an end. But the federal tax credits that help Americans save big on electric home appliances are disappearing years sooner than planned. That means if you want to take advantage of these savings, you’ve got to do it now.

We’ve got your back. Start here ⬇️

Today on Volts: the folks at @rewiringamerica.bsky.social have an idea. Hyperscalers desperately need to free up grid capacity for data centers, right? Why not let them buy that capacity by paying for residential heat pumps & solar/storage systems? I discuss it w/ the head of RW & a rep from PG&E.

Could we get hyperscalers to buy heat pumps for households?

Ari Matusiak and Carla Peterman join me to discuss a wild new idea: getting data centers to pay for your next heat pump.

Our nation’s electricity demand is growing. And the solution could be in your yard, garage, or on your roof.

And that’s not all. Immediate investments in these solutions would accelerate the technological and economic pathways for an all-electric economy — positioning the U.S. as a global leader in 21st-century industries.

And these appliances don’t just help out the grid. They lower household energy bills, create cleaner air by cutting pollution, and provide more resilience to power outages. All around win.

The plan: install energy-efficient heat pumps, rooftop solar panels, and home batteries in homes across America. Our report shows that hyperscalers could secure grid capacity by helping American households upgrade their appliances — all at costs similar to building new gas power plants.

Data centers need a lot of juice — but we’ve got the power 🔋

Our new analysis shows that U.S. households could provide enough capacity to meet 100% of the projected electricity demand growth from data centers.
