For utility leaders, engineers, and operations professionals load growth, changing customer expectations, renewables integration, and extreme weather are creating an environment that calls for a more unified, intelligent, AI-enabled grid. As utility operations and the grid evolve to meet this changing energy landscape, the technology, systems and processes must keep pace to keep the lights on. This is particularly true in managing extreme weather and wildfire risks where utilities need faster, more coordinated ways to plan for and respond to major events. Achieving reliability, safety and resiliency in this environment calls for agentic AI and the availability systems and data that do not reside in siloes.
In this exclusive Energy Central PowerSession, we will hear from a panel of experts that are on the frontlines of using AI-augmented insights for wildfire modeling, vegetation analytics, and asset health use cases, and are building and delivering solutions that are meeting the operational needs of this demanding environment.Â
