Piq Energy report: coordinated home batteries can unblock data center grid connections

Piq Energy's Unlocking Flexibility Without Curtailment report models a 100 MW load near Fort Worth, Texas, where coordinated dispatch of Base Power home batteries at 11 sites resolved all eight thermal constraints across five transmission facilities. Gross battery dispatch reached about 81.5 MW, but net injection was only 5 MW — the batteries shift power flows rather than supply the data center.

• A 100 MW connection created 8 thermal constraints on 5 Oncor facilities
• Coordinated dispatch at 11 sites totaling 81.5 MW cleared all 8 constraints
• Net injection was 5 MW: 43.2 MW discharged, 38.2 MW withdrawn
• Piq's Delphi AI agent cut study time to days from an estimated months
