Transforming the Energy Landscape: The Critical Role of Technology in Sustainable Grids
In an era focused on renewable energy, the challenge goes beyond increasing green energy production, to effectively disseminating it across grids. Digital modelling, AI, and digital twins offer a blueprint for smarter, more adaptable, and resilient energy grids. The podcast episode discussed the transformative impact of these technologies and their role in our energy transition.
IBM’s mobility play: MobileFirst
One of the big talking points at this year’s IBM Pulse was IBM’s recent unveiling of its new platform for mobile, MobileFirst. My colleague James covers the announcement in details on his RedMonk blog, but I thought I’d talk a bit about the GreenMonk perspective, as we haven’t covered mobile here very much to-date, and…

The rise of the energy manager role
One of the topics which I responded to on the recent IBM Eco Jam was “IT’s Central Role In Managing Energy & Carbon”. This topic was raised by another analyst (again IBM has asked me not to mention participants by name but if the analyst in question sees this and wants me to name him/her,…

I’m heading to the Le Web3 conference this week to deliver a talk on using technology (energy demand management) to reduce carbon footprints. This comes from our work in CIX on delivering a hyper energy-efficient data centre and my working with Synergy Module (an energy management startup). If you are going to the Le Web3…
