How AI Use Cases from Other Sectors Can Transform Utilities
- •The AI boom is projected to cause a "drastic surge" in electricity demand, primarily driven by large loads like datacenters.
- •Utilities face "unprecedented pressure" to modernize grids, integrate distributed energy resources (DERs), and manage supply chain/customer costs due to this demand surge.
- •This creates significant opportunities for developers in new generation (especially DERs) and grid infrastructure, while large loads must secure reliable and cost-effective power.
