In 2024, the impacts of AI on the power sector are stunning. Across the country, utilities, IPPs, and transmission operators are evaluating, piloting, and deploying AI-based solutions to address critical challenges across their networks. At the same time, they’re seeing unprecedented load growth driven by AI-specific data centers.

At Transition-AI 2024, Latitude Media is bringing together a broad range of experts for fireside chats with our editors, case study illustrations, panel sessions, and analyst presentations around three urgent themes:

Reliability – From grid modeling and planning to automated asset inspection, vegetation management, wildfire detection, and anomaly detection, AI solutions offer new levels of predictive maintenance and asset management. What are the “low-lift” use cases for AI being implemented today, and which will challenge traditional utility operations?

Customer analytics and experience – Utilities are leveraging AI in limited ways to address their customers today, from segmentation, onboarding, and program management to enhanced customer service offerings. The advent of AMI 2.0, smart EV charging demands, and the opportunity to use advanced chatbots to augment customer service present many questions to utilities looking to enhance customer-side operations and service today. What cybersecurity risks do these introduce? And where are utilities being the boldest in their moves today?

Load growth – The rapid rise of AI is driving power demand far beyond initial forecasts, presenting serious challenges to utilities and system operators. At the same time, AI is improving resource planning and forecasting capabilities to generate more efficient operation within the power sector. How can utilities and developers best answer the call for more power while staying within their net-zero goals?
