Power regulation of power grid via datacenter

A power regulation system for regulating power on a power grid, comprising:

• a power monitor component configured to receive, from a power utility entity, a request to increase power consumption by a datacenter, the request seeking assistance of the datacenter to reduce a supply of power available via the power grid;
• and
• a power management component configured to:
• use the request to determine a desired increase in power consumption of the datacenter to reduce the supply of power available via the power grid;
• and
• upwardly adjust an amount of power consumed by the datacenter from the power grid based at least in part upon the desired increase in power consumption to reduce the supply of power available via the power grid.

A computer readable medium comprising instructions that when executed perform a method, comprising:

• receiving, from a power utility entity, a request to increase power consumption by a datacenter, the request seeking assistance of the datacenter to reduce a supply of power available via a power grid;
• using the request to determine a desired increase in power consumption of the datacenter to reduce the supply of power available via the power grid;
• and
• upwardly adjusting an amount of power consumed by the datacenter from the power grid based at least in part upon the desired increase in power consumption to reduce the supply of power available via the power grid.
