Today's electric grids face mounting challenges from the climate crisis, shifting economic dynamics, outdated infrastructure, and flexibility constraints, exacerbated by an exponential growth in distributed energy resources, like solar, wind, EVs and microgrids. But connecting more renewables is also part of the answer – decentralization, electrification and digitalization are driving the energy transition. A rise in prosumers – businesses, homeowners or individuals who both produce and consume energy – along with supply and demand side innovations underscore the importance of grid modernization and optimization. Only through industry collaboration and energy orchestration from grid to plug will electricity grids gain the flexibility and resiliency needed to support this new energy landscape.

Fulfilling net-zero commitments in the midst of an energy crisis means rethinking power distribution. It means accelerating the deployment of renewables, in Europe and worldwide. And it means partnering across the energy value chain to shape a greener, more sustainable future. Technologies exist today to increase electrification, drive decarbonization, and improve energy efficiency in buildings, industry and infrastructure. But what must we overcome to achieve a sustainable energy transition and welcome the new energy landscape?

Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing how businesses and industries manage, track, understand and optimize their energy and sustainability efforts. But as AI has proliferated across industries, so does the need for processing power and infrastructure to support it. Driven by the race to deploy more high-density AI servers, data centre operators are working to rapidly build and retrofit data centre facilities. Balancing the carbon footprint and environmental impacts of expanding infrastructure against the demand for processing power that enables energy efficiency and accelerates decarbonization is critical for a sustainable future.
