AI Summary

Researchers at MIT have created a framework that identifies geographic hotspots and pain points in electrical grids. The tool maps how extreme weather patterns and rising summer heat waves intersect with regional energy supply and demand. It aims to help utilities anticipate and mitigate grid instability as data center hyperscalers increase power usage. The framework focuses on pinpointing areas most vulnerable to climate‑driven disruptions.
