Artificial intelligence is rapidly shifting from experimentation to large‑scale deployment across the energy sector — from regulated network operators to competitive power producers. Yet one challenge unites all players: proving where AI creates real value, how to prioritise investments, and what a credible business case looks like in environments shaped either by regulatory constraints and/or market pressures.
This Digitopia Business Hub session, co‑hosted with Microsoft, brings together leaders from across the electricity value chain to explore how AI can strengthen grid reliability, optimise generation assets, enhance customer operations, unlock flexibility, and improve market performance. We will examine how DSOs can align AI investments with regulatory expectations, and how producers and retailers can use AI to improve margins, reduce risk, and compete more effectively.
Through strategic insights, a lively panel debate, and a hands‑on session, participants will exchange and experience how to move from AI ambition to AI value realization — with business cases that scale, convince, and deliver across both regulated and competitive segments of the energy system.
