Member Representative Committee
About This Committee
MRC Lead: Jeremy Renshaw
The Member Representative Committee (MRC) coordinates activities across the Open Power AI Consortium and is comprised of organizations across the energy and technology industries. Each member organization designates one representative to the MRC, typically the head of AI or equivalent role for the organization.
The MRC drives collaboration and progress across the activities of the Open Power AI Consortium, including coordinating the participation of their organizations in the various consortium work groups.
The purpose of the Member Representative Committee is to coordinate the activities of the consortium with member organizations to accelerate the development of AI systems, enhance AI performance and adoption, and reduce operating costs while maintaining or improving safety, reliability, and customer experience.
MRC meetings are held monthly on the third Wednesday of each month from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM ET. Meeting recordings and materials are posted on the OPAI website following each session and available to the public.
