The data center power crisis is no longer a future risk. It is here. Driven by the explosive growth of artificial intelligence, machine learning workloads, and cloud computing, power demand from data centers is expected to more than double by 2030, according to the International Energy Agency. Grid operators are struggling to keep pace. Utilities in key markets […]
I’m launching this monthly series because the conversation around solar powered street lighting is getting louder, while clarity is not keeping pace. In this space, adaptive lighting and dimming are increasingly discussed as if they are automatically appropriate simply because controls exist and because RP-8-25 references adaptive operation. In practice, responsible application depends on conditions, minimum criteria, and operational safeguards that often go unmentioned in everyday product messaging. When those details are missing, owners and project teams can be left making safety-related decisions with incomplete guidance.

What is the Real Cost of Solar Lighting?
To provide reliable wireless off-grid or hybrid power to mission-critical infrastructure around the world, data is paramount. In this blog, we discuss the importance of harnessing data to manage power systems more effectively. Read more to learn about how The Hub is revolutionizing remote power system management.
A lack of reliable, affordable power infrastructure continues to impede access to connectivity for the 4 billion people still not using the internet. Thankfully, the newest addition to Smart Off-Grid power is here. Clear Blue has released ESite-Micro, an exciting product which will significantly improve the Smart Off-Grid solution for telecom, allowing Clear Blue to deliver reliable, low-cost power for connectivity for millions of unconnected people.
Of the 4 billion people still not using the internet, many lack connectivity simply because implementing reliable power infrastructure is cost-prohibitive. To solve the power infrastructure challenge, Meta partnered with Clear Blue Technologies to evaluate Smart Off-Grid power as a low-cost, reliable power solution for telecom. In this blog, we showcase the proven effectiveness of Smart Off-Grid power’s 40% lower cost from the SmartPower field trial and discuss its importance in the race to connect the world.
