Endeavour: Inspired Infrastructure No No A New Vision for Data Centers and Grid Interconnects 3 3 A New Vision for Data Centers and Grid Interconnects full Buzzsprout-18401520 https://share.transistor.fm/s/1479a993 In this episode of Endeavour’s Beyond the Grid, we do a deep dive into power grids and the future of data centers. 

Wes Short, Endeavor’s own “MacGyver,” joins Beth live in Austin, TX, and discusses lessons learned from the Spain blackout earlier this year and why grid stability keeps him up at night. He shares how automation, AI, and systems like Endeavor's TurboCell play a significant role in building smarter, more resilient grids. 

You'll hear Wes' vision for data centers as the heart of thriving communities, shaping the next generation of leaders, and how to avoid losing your power poles. He also answers the question everyone is asking: Are we in an AI bubble? 

Get yourself some brisket and slaw, hit play, and enjoy. This episode has all the fixins.

Host Beth Rattner and guests Jonathan Rodriguez and Evan Metzner from Endeavour's EdgedIQ unpack what a digital twin is and how EdgedIQ uses them, powered by IoT, to monitor performance, run simulations, and keep critical infrastructure like Edged data centers running smoothly while proving out sustainability gains.

The conversation covers everything from urban planning and industrial symbiosis to virtual power plants and the future of AI-driven operations, along with a real-world example of how an IoT retrofit saved a Canadian bank millions in energy costs. You’ll also hear how collaboration, creativity, and better data are helping teams create powerful new tools that “kill the spreadsheet” and solve business problems faster.

Host Beth Rattner sits down with Chris Ellis, CEO of Edged Infrastructure and a pioneer in microgrids, to rethink how data centers interact with the electric grid—and how a few strategic shifts can dramatically reduce peak demand.

They break down how data centers, often seen as energy-intensive, can actually support the grid and accelerate the transition to clean, reliable power. Chris shares the two system changes that can unlock resilience, reliability, and cleaner operations at scale and why global access to sustainable energy must start with people at the center.

The conversation covers:
 • The misunderstood relationship between AI, data centers & grid capacity
 • How on-site generation and intelligent controls shift the energy conversation
 • Why the future of sustainability hinges on access, equity & human impact
