This report provides an overview of the various efforts underway to develop technical requirements for protecting the grid against potential risks associated with large-scale data center operations. The scope covers efforts by grid operators, utilities, industry trade groups and associations, along with standard-setting bodies. Specifically, the report reviews these efforts to provide recommendations for new IEEE standards and definitions to address the challenges posed by data center deployment. By identifying common grid requirements for data centers between grid operators and utilities, this report can also guide the development of these recommended harmonized grid standards to speed data center development while assuring grid reliability. The review of these ongoing efforts yields a roadmap for future standards development, which this report highlights.

Working Group Details
Other Activities From This Working Group
Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.
No Active Projects
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
No Active Standards
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
