The Consortium on AI and Large Flexible Load (CALL) — formerly the Blockchain and Energy Research Consortium (BERC) — is a partnership between a team of researchers at Texas A&M University and industry collaborators. 

CALL serves as a multidisciplinary platform connecting academia and industry to advance knowledge at the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI), energy systems, and large flexible loads, including crypto-mining facilities and AI data centers. Our mission is to accelerate research, innovation, and practical solutions that enable intelligent, flexible, and sustainable integration of these emerging large loads into the power grid. On this website, we highlight some of the latest publicly available studies and share some of our team’s most recent research results.
