This marks the first large-scale deployment of AI-controlled virtual power plants to autonomously manage critical infrastructure during a crisis. The system's ability to control and restrict power usage across multiple states through centralized technology demonstrates how end-time control systems could be implemented. The 161 GW load management represents unprecedented technological control over essential resources.
Virtual Power Grid: AI Control System Tests Mark of Beast Tech
📰 What Happened
During late June 2025, the Eastern United States faced a severe heat dome that pushed power demand to 161 GW, near the all-time record of 165.6 GW. PJM Interconnection deployed virtual power plants and distributed energy resource aggregations to prevent grid failure. While some outages occurred in NYC due to heat-damaged equipment, the AI-managed grid systems successfully maintained power across most regions through automated load management and resource distribution.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The virtual power plant system represents a concerning spiritual counterfeit - promising salvation through technology while enabling unprecedented control. The AI's ability to manage 161 GW of power across multiple states mirrors how the False Prophet will control access to essential resources (Rev 13:15). The system's 'virtual' nature, managing real physical infrastructure through digital means, exemplifies how end-time deceptions will blur reality and truth. The automated resource distribution parallels warnings about centralized control over basic necessities (Rev 13:17). This technology conditions society to trust and depend on AI systems rather than God for survival.
