1. A system comprising:

  • a hardware processor; and

    a hardware computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions which, when executed by the hardware processor, cause the hardware processor to;

    train an algorithm using historical grid condition signals obtained from a first electrical grid and a second electrical grid, the historical grid condition signals reflecting historical failures on the first electrical grid and the second electrical grid, the first electrical grid being geographically remote from the second electrical grid;

    obtain current first grid condition signals describing first grid conditions detected by a first data center, wherein the first data center is connected to the first electrical grid;

    evaluate the current first grid condition signals using the trained algorithm to make a prediction of a future failure event on the second electrical grid; and

    prior to occurrence of the future failure event, cause an adjustment to a local energy storage device or a local generator at a second data center that is connected to the second electrical grid, the local energy storage device or the local generator powering multiple servers at the second data center.
