A brief power disruption across much of the Eastern U.S. Wednesday morning has renewed concerns about the growing strain data centers are placing on the nation’s electric grid.

According to Ting Labs engineer Bob Marshall, power fluctuations were detected around 7:56 a.m. from areas including Chicago, Boston and Miami, with the disturbance lasting about 10 minutes. Marshall linked the event to Northern Virginia’s Data Center Alley in Ashburn, warning that large-scale energy demands from data centers could create future risks for grid stability.

Dominion Energy said the issue was caused by a failed piece of equipment on a high-voltage transmission line serving data centers, which briefly caused those facilities to switch to backup power.

The company said it did not disconnect the data centers from the grid. Experts say the incident highlights the need for stronger infrastructure and regulations as artificial intelligence and data center growth continue driving record electricity demand.
