IRENA identifies five key areas in which digital technologies can transform power systems: monitoring through smart sensors and metres; AI-enhanced forecasting for demand and renewable generation; operational optimization to reduce losses and congestion; end-use automation for demand. IRENA identifies five key areas in which digital technologies can transform power systems: monitoring through smart sensors and metres; AI-enhanced forecasting for demand and renewable generation; operational optimization to reduce losses and congestion; end-use automation for demand. Leaders gathering at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2026 will explore how the ethical use of emerging technologies can solve real-world challenges. Artificial intelligence (AI) is redefining global energy infrastructure. The world's largest AI data centres (also known as AI factories). The EU is promoting the availability of safe, secure, and sustainable digital energy services. Digitalisation is an enabler of the energy transition across the whole energy value chain, from generation and transport, to distribution, supply and consumption. A system-wide approach, supported by EU. From AI and IoT to microgrids and energy management systems, gain insights into emerging trends, market statistics, real-life examples, enabling technologies & more! Global energy consumption is projected to increase by nearly 50% by 2050, primarily driven by economic and population growth in. The agency's Digitalisation and AI for Power System Transformation report, which it developed together with the G7 Presidency, says that the COP28 goal of tripling renewable energy capacity by 2030 can be "catalyzed by digitalization".
