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

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
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: forman.io/ai-projects/paperc…

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.
Dan Forman retweeted
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!

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.

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 This outdated approach is leading to vendor lock-in for utilities that reduces choice and cost-effectiveness, and to reduced meter functionality.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.

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

Six patents! 🎉 Congrats to our portco @CopperLabs and Founder & CEO @danielforman on continued innovation in reimagining utilities infrastructure.
Copper Labs has been awarded a new patent, our sixth to date! Our growing list of patents shows how we access better-than-smart-meter data from existing meters that can help utilities engage customers and manage demand.

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: lnkd.in/eqr_z-NX

Boulder, #Colorado-based @CopperLabs has introduced an #innovative new feature to help homeowners identify #water leaks around the home immediately rather than waiting for a high bill.
