The utilities industry is navigating a complex intersection of rising energy demand, technological disruption, and sustainability goals. As the electrification of energy use advances, driven by the sale of electric vehicles, renewable energy adoption, and growing investment in digital infrastructure such as data centers and artificial intelligence (AI), the demand for reliable and efficient power is rapidly increasing. The rapid expansion of AI and data‐driven technologies not only fuels this demand but also presents a unique opportunity to address it. This dual role positions AI both as a driver of increased energy use and a critical enabler for optimizing systems to meet this demand effectively.
