The infrastructure behind the infrastructure.

Emerald Conductor is the flexibility management platform for AI infrastructure. We connect utilities and data centers in real time, simulate a digital twin model of AI power, orchestrate compute alongside onsite energy, and verify performance—so AI can grow in harmony with stronger, more affordable grids.

Connect grids and data centers. Provide operators with AI demand visibility and enable data centers to respond to grid signals.

Orchestrate AI workloads and onsite energy to flexibly control power use, meeting grid needs while preserving AI performance.

Optimize across data center fleets, orchestrating spatiotemporal workload flexibility to support grids nationwide.

Verify performance with auditable M&V data and automated reporting, establishing data centers as credible grid resources.

What if the biggest new user of electricity–AI–could become the grid’s greatest ally?

AI Flexibility Can Unlock 100GW to Power the AI Revolution Today

Temporal AI flexibility

Briefly slow or pause batchable AI workloads when the grid is stressed and resume post‑event, all within SLA guardrails.

Spatial AI flexibility

Shift workloads across regions on fiber to where power is abundant — within latency bounds.

Resource flexibility

Dispatch batteries and other onsite energy alongside compute orchestration for maximum, reliable flexibility.
