AI compute demand is exploding. Meanwhile, hundreds of decommissioned data centers sit idle — already wired, already cooled, already permitted. The fastest path to new capacity isn't greenfield. It's repower. #AI #DataCenter #Sustainability

[RePowerDC @RePowerDC]

The next wave of AI inference won't happen in Virginia or Phoenix. It'll happen 10ms from the user. Powered brownfield sites in mid-sized markets are perfectly positioned. Greenfield campuses at the grid periphery are not. Location is the new moat. #EdgeInference #AdaptiveReuse

[Dan Forman @danielforman]

The team @Paperclip_AI has created some magical technology. If you're planning to deploy it in a hosted production environment, this is worth a read: https://t.co/k9C8c7ils6

[RePowerDC @RePowerDC]

Everyone's racing to build data centers at the grid periphery.

Powered buildings in dense urban markets are sitting empty — already wired, already zoned, already inside the metro.

Edge inference doesn't need a campus 40 miles out. It needs proximity.

That's adaptive reuse.

[RePowerDC @RePowerDC]

Edge AI needs compute near people — not remote greenfields.

Powered buildings in urban markets give you proximity + existing power. Low-latency inference for autonomous vehicles, healthcare, real-time analytics.

The infrastructure is already there.

In the fifth and final part of our latest blog series, we explore how an #AMx framework can help electric and gas utilities free up funds to accelerate #decarbonization while bolstering #resiliency. Check out our article below!

[Copper Labs @CopperLabs]

Utility customers are increasingly paying more for less-reliable service. Copper Labs unlocks behavioral #loadflexibility to help bolster reliability, and a modern #AMx approach to metering investments to reduce costs and improve #affordability.

[Copper Labs @CopperLabs]

Most #smartmeter networks are single-use, expensive, and proprietary. This outdated approach is leading to vendor lock-in for utilities that reduces choice and cost-effectiveness, and to reduced meter functionality. A modern #AMx strategy can help.

[Copper Labs @CopperLabs]

Utilities need better consumption data to meet various emerging challenges, from #CX to #decarbonization. In an inflationary rate environment where the last three years have seen record-setting utility rate increase requests, it is hard to balance the cost

[National Grid Partners @ngpartners_]

Introductions from National Grid to other utilities "have been a game-changer for us," @CopperLabs CEO @danielforman told Ben and team during a panel discussion with @tsconductorcorp CEO Jason Huang.

[Moonshots Capital @MoonshotsCap]

Six patents! 🎉 Congrats to our portco @CopperLabs and Founder & CEO @danielforman on continued innovation in reimagining utilities infrastructure.

[Dan Forman @danielforman]

@CopperLabs continues to innovate for our #utility partners at a time when the industry is in desperate need of efficient new approaches to #demandmanagement and #gridmodernization:

[Copper Labs @CopperLabs]

Excited to be a top-ten vendor in Guidehouse's first Leaderboard report for #utility customer engagement and experience analytics! Honored to stand alongside industry giants. Stay tuned for more #datadriven solutions for electric, gas, and water utilities

[Water Quality Products @WQPnews]

Dan Forman, Copper Labs CEO, discusses a recent project @CopperLabs conducted with @Siemens, in which they experimented with a “new” town in a #waterscarce region of Colorado called “Sterling Ranch." https://t.co/wtDE81n6Zu #waterscarcity #waterqualityproducts

[National Grid Partners @ngpartners_]

@CopperLabs received its fifth patent recently! This time for the use of #AMR technology for outage detection. 🎉🎉 Congratulations, team!

Another win for #energy 💡💡

[Jim Hollifield, PMP @JimHollifield]

For #electric #utilities without #smartmeters, @CopperLabs can help detect #electrical outages using legacy drive-by meters. The Boulder-based company has received a patent for the use of automated meter reading (#AMR) #technology for outage detection. https://t.co/BBP1n0hE0K

Next week, Copper CEO @danielforman will present with Marty Skolnick from Siemens on “Managing Water Demand With Real-Time Data” at the #AWRA2023 Summer Conference. #utilities #water #conservation #utilityofthefuture

[Copper Labs @CopperLabs]

Are #smartmeters innovative? In our latest blog, we make a case for moving away from computation-heavy metering to one that instead treats meters simply as data-collection devices and puts data analytics and innovation in the cloud. Read more here: https://t.co/VDGop6jIwq
