Today, our Co-Founder & CEO, Greg Robinson, shared an article on Forbes Technology Council exploring how smart regulation can drive the next wave of energy innovation. As energy-intensive data centers push power demand to new heights, bridging the gap between policy, technology, and clean energy has never been more urgent. #Aston #CleanEnergy #DataCenters
There’s a saying that opportunity follows policy. This is especially true in highly regulated industries where regulation drives innovation and growth. The biggest challenge currently is how to manage the soaring demand for power-hungry data centers driving the atmospheric rise of AI. Even more daunting is the goal of powering these data centers with clean energy. My latest article for Forbes Technology Council dives into how we can bridge the gap between soaring energy demand, advanced technologies, and policy to unlock the next chapter of energy innovation. #Aston #CleanEnergy #DataCenters

Today, our Co-Founder & CEO, Greg Robinson, shared an article on Forbes Technology Council exploring how Independent Power Networks (IPNs) could transform energy delivery to meet the growing demands of high-energy users like data centers while strengthening grid reliability.
Technology becomes less expensive over time — just look at Moore’s Law for computing or Swanson’s Law for the energy industry. But as data center demand surges, traditional utilities are stretched thin. This is where Independent Power Networks (IPNs) come into play. By colocating supply and demand, IPNs promise reliable, scalable solutions for power-hungry users like data centers while boosting grid resilience. As power demands continue to rise, the transition to IPNs isn’t a matter of if, but when. My latest article for Forbes Technology Council dives into this transformative idea. #Aston #CleanEnergy #DataCenters

Today, our Co-Founder & CEO, Greg Robinson, shared an article on the Forbes Technology Council discussing the importance of reimplementing independent power networks.
Today the power grid faces a new complexity: companies wanting to build data centers that demand a tremendous amount of power. To no fault of its own, the grid is not set up to bring these projects online with the current available architectures. That’s why we need a return to what I like to refer to as independent power networks (IPNs), similar in concept to the first colocated power plants built by Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla in the late 1800s. Today, I shared a Forbes Technology Council article about the importance of reimplementing IPNs. #Aston #CleanEnergy #DataCenters

We are excited to share our newest episode of The World Changing Podcast, Greg Robinson sat down with Ryan Kushner, "The Accelerator Guy" to talk all things climate tech. Ryan is the co-founder of Third Derivative, a non-profit joint venture of RMI and New Energy Nexus - the world’s largest and most resourced climate technology accelerator. The program coordinates commercialization between corporate partners (Wells Fargo, Microsoft, AT&T, Berkshire Hathaway Energy), 15 venture capital partners, and their portfolio of 198 startups, who have raised over $1.5B. Ryan shares lessons and observations from his years helping climate tech startups - from avoiding start-up valleys of death to the mysticism of technology learning curves, they covered it all.

Today, our Co-Founder & CEO, Greg Robinson, shared an article via Forbes Technology Council to shed light on the pressing challenge of closing the energy gap to power clean data centers.
In my first Forbes Technology Council byline, I dive into the challenges of closing the energy gap to power clean data centers. The issue isn’t just about having enough power; it’s about aligning supply with demand, particularly as clean energy sources like wind and solar don’t always produce power when and where we need it. The traditional grid is faced with a record amount of requests for large-scale projects like data centers to join it. We must rethink our energy infrastructure to meet the growing demand sustainably. If nothing else, one thing is true: The demand for power is changing dramatically, so we have to, too. #Aston #Sustainability #CleanEnergy

Big announcement from our founder Greg Robinson.
BIG Update! We teamed up with JLL, an exceptional team of multidisciplinary experts with extensive technical experience, to rapidly advance our demand-driven approach in deploying clean data centers. We debuted a first-of-its-kind Rapid Development Program (RDP) for Clean Data Centers to address the enormous need for power driving by the growth in data centers. Our first campuses in Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, and beyond, are already participating in the RDP. Together, the existing development pipeline represents 2 gigawatts of power. Projects started in 2024 will go live in 2026. #Aston #CleanDataCenters #InnovationInEnergy https://lnkd.in/e5GCZFCX
