Emerald AI

Emerald AI, headquartered in Washington, D.C., develops the Conductor platform, software that acts as an interface between power grids and AI data centers. The platform connects utilities and data-center operators in real time, builds a digital twin model of AI power demand, and orchestrates compute workloads alongside on-site energy resources so that data centers can adjust electricity use in response to grid conditions. Emerald AI's approach includes temporal flexibility (pausing or slowing batchable AI workloads during grid stress), spatial flexibility (shifting workloads across regions to where power is available), and dispatch of on-site batteries and other energy resources. The company has piloted its platform with utilities including Silicon Valley Power and Salt River Project, collaborates with NVIDIA on the DSX Flex framework for grid-responsive AI infrastructure, and was named a 2026 Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum. Investors include NVIDIA's NVentures.
