The current energy grid structure is vulnerable and difficult for providers to navigate. It was built to support a one-way flow of mostly carbon-based power from centralized sources. It typically doesn’t have the ability to quickly pivot in times of need or to support the 100% renewable energy critical to meet global climate goals like President Biden’s proposal to create a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035.

We must move to renewable energy sources and build a smarter grid.

For this, Intel has created a technology solution to drastically simplify the grid, making it more dependable, adaptable and efficient. VMware today is a key enabler for Edge Compute as part of the solution.
