Demand Flexibility is the capability of a facility to adjust its electricity draw in response to grid conditions, prices, or signals, by shifting, curtailing, or shaping loads over time. In data centers it can involve shifting deferrable compute, using battery or thermal storage, or switching to on-site generation to support grid stability and reduce cost or carbon.
