Data centers are redefining grid flexibility. In our latest podcast episode, @james_mcwalter speaks with @EDF_power’s Gabe Messercola about how to turn underutilized wind and solar sites into high-demand power hubs.🎧 Listen here: https://t.co/SxWrsIquCG

.@Energy just invoked a rare Section 403 authority to fast-track large-load interconnections, reshaping how data centers and renewables connect to the grid. Paces breaks down what this means for speed, cost, and competition in our latest blog. Read more:

Nothing scary about great company culture. 🎃 At Paces, we believe culture is built in the moments between the meetings. Our hybrid team shows up (and dresses up) for any occasion — especially Halloween! Come build with us: https://t.co/VFX8yyccdc

Stu’s live from the Data Center Power Exchange in Denver Takeaways from panels + convos this week: - “Fastest way to get an electron on the grid? Take it off the distribution system.” - old model = location, location, location → new model = power, power, power - De-risk early

In @SolarPowerWorld, our CEO @james_mcwalter explains how OBBA has changed the status quo. As subsidies phase out and AI-driven demand accelerates, speed is now the decisive factor in who leads the energy transition. Check out the article: https://t.co/i9CCunHSdW

Engineer Michael Keays brought rhythm to our latest unconference lunch with a session on Capoeira, the Brazilian martial art of movement and music. It’s about balance, creativity, and quick thinking — all things we value at Paces.

Heading to @DCDNews’ #DCDConnect Virginia from Nov. 3-4? So are we! Our team will be on site connecting with developers, operators, and innovators shaping the future of digital infrastructure. Let’s talk data centers, power, and energy demand.

Automation is reshaping renewable development. At #DERVOS, @James_McWalter joined a panel on how technology can help build projects faster and smarter. Great to sponsor and connect with others working to scale clean energy. ⚡

The U.S. once doubled its power capacity in five years during WWII. In our latest podcast episode, Tract’s Nat Sahlstrom joins @James_McWalter to talk about what it will take to build at that scale again to meet growing power demand. 🎧Listen: https://t.co/BIJCMljTA8
