On January 24, U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright stated that, given the risk of power outages due to large-scale winter storms, he has instructed grid operators to utilize backup power from data centers if necessary. While most data centers have their own backup power systems, these resources typically do not supply power to the public grid, and implementation details remain unclear.

He stated that emergency powers have been invoked under the Federal Electricity Act to ensure temporary grid connection and power delivery when needed.
