SAN FRANCISCO – Elon Musk revealed Twitter will actively support the development of micro power grids. He made the announcement during a company meeting. The move signals a shift in Twitter’s operational focus beyond social media.
Micro grids are small local power systems. They often use renewable energy sources like solar panels. These grids can operate independently from the main electrical network. Musk believes they are key for future energy security. He explained his vision for Twitter’s role.
“Twitter will help promote micro grid technology,” Musk stated. “We see a need for reliable, local power solutions.” He emphasized the platform’s reach can raise awareness globally. Twitter will provide tools for communities discussing energy projects.
The company plans technical support too. Twitter engineers will develop software for managing micro grids. This software will help monitor energy flow and usage. It aims to make small grids easier to run. Twitter will offer this software freely.
Musk sees micro grids as vital for resilience. He pointed to recent large-scale power failures. “Big grids fail sometimes,” he noted. “Small grids keep lights on locally.” He argued this is crucial during natural disasters or other emergencies. Twitter wants to enable local energy independence.
The initiative aligns with Musk’s broader interests in sustainable energy. He leads electric car company Tesla and solar firm SolarCity. Twitter’s support is a new step. It leverages the platform’s communication strength for energy solutions. No details yet on project timelines or specific funding.
Twitter users reacted quickly. Many expressed strong support for the plan. Others questioned Twitter’s expertise in the energy sector. Company spokespeople clarified Twitter won’t build physical grids. Instead, it will provide information and software tools. The goal is enabling others to build and manage local grids.
