Why AI demand and energy addition are redefining the future of global energy
In an exclusive studio interview with Energy Connects, Joe McMonigle, President and CEO of the Global Center for Energy Analysis, shares his top takeaways from at ADIPEC 2025, from shifting perspectives on the energy transition to the rising influence of AI and digital compute. He reflects on the growing realism shaping global energy policy, the need for energy addition rather than replacement and the crucial role of government-backed clean-tech research and development. McMonigle also highlights the deepening convergence between the energy and technology sectors, warning that future energy demand – especially from AI – may far exceed current projections.
