EnergyGuard TEF: LuxProvide’s Green MeluXina Supercomputer Powers Energy AI

LuxProvide has joined the EnergyGuard Testing & Experimentation Facility (TEF) to advance trustworthy artificial intelligence across the entire European energy value chain. Backed by Horizon Europe, EnergyGuard integrates five large‑scale laboratories and MeluXina—Europe’s greenest high‑performance computer—into a single service. The result is a one‑stop shop where start‑ups, established SMEs and research groups can develop, test and certify AI tools under real‑world conditions without the real‑world risk.

MeluXina’s liquid‑cooled GPUs and CPUs, driven entirely by hydro power, give SMEs petascale muscle without climate guilt. An intuitive Jupyter portal converts thousands of cores into a point‑and‑click experience, while real‑time dashboards track both cost and CO₂.

The facility network assembled under EnergyGuard spans Portugal, Spain, France, Italy and Latvia. Each site contributes a unique capability—from grid‑scale digital twins and hydrogen production lines to community microgrids and Soviet‑era apartment blocks—so innovators can address challenges at every step, from generation and storage to consumption and market trading. A curated catalogue of digital twins, datasets, models and inference APIs makes these assets accessible through a unified cloud portal.

Complementing the physical laboratories is the MeluXina supercomputer in Luxembourg. Running entirely on renewable energy, MeluXina lets developers scale simulations across tens of thousands of CPU and GPU cores while keeping their carbon footprint transparent. Containerised workspaces loaded with open‑source libraries mean even small teams can harness petascale muscle without deep HPC expertise. Results stream back to the TEF portal in minutes, allowing rapid iteration that traditional lab schedules simply cannot match.

For innovators, the benefits are clear: dramatically shorter development cycles, lower capital expenditure and a structured path to compliance with the forthcoming EU AI Act. The TEF’s Acceptance Environment measures algorithms against a comprehensive risk database, covering cybersecurity threats, data bias, functional safety and more. Passing solutions receive a digital badge that signals trustworthiness to investors, customers and regulators alike.

Looking ahead, LuxProvide will leverage its role within EnergyGuard to seed pilot projects, share open datasets and mentor early‑stage companies. By weaving together cutting‑edge infrastructure, transparent governance and a sustainable business model, EnergyGuard aims to make Europe the go‑to market for responsible, high‑impact energy AI.
