Intel wants you to take more interest in your energy use but isn’t fussy about how you do it.
The chip giant has developed a broad strategy to make money on smart-grid technologies, touching on everything from high-performance computing to simulate the electricity grid to home energy management systems.
Its efforts have been relatively low-profile because Intel’s microprocessors are embedded in other companies’ products. But the company is seeing some early activity: it expects to pilot test different types of home energy management devices with partners in the next 30 to 60 days in Oregon, said Lorie Wigle, general manager of Intel’s Eco-Technology group, at the Jefferies Clean Tech Conference for investors here on Tuesday.
