AI transforms power from both sides: Fueling massive load demand while optimizing grid operations–from New York’s regulatory warnings to Google-powered forecasting and Exelon’s grid-planning investments.
AI is uniquely positioned to impact the power industry from both ends: as the technology driving large load demand growth and as a tool with the potential to make the power system more efficient. Utilities are already using deep learning algorithms for load and weather forecasting, demand response, distributed resource aggregation and more.
Included in this trendline:
- New York audits utility AI use, cites risk in ‘growing dependency’
- Exelon’s climate arm backs grid-planning firm Continuum
- Santee Cooper partners with Google in shift toward AI-driven forecasting
