As the world faces a dual imperative, building resilience in the face of uncertainty while accelerating energy system transformation, the future demands not just endurance, but strategic foresight, agile decision-making and action at speed and scale.
At that crossroads lay a unique opportunity: the convergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and energy as twin drivers of the future. In the lead-up to ADIPEC 2025, we joined on Thursday, 9 October 2025 at 15:00 GST for the ADIPEC Energy. Intelligence. Impact. Webinar, powered by Energy Connects, where leading experts discussed how human and artificial intelligence reshaped energy systems, empowered people and drove cross-sector innovation.
The session, featuring experts from Accenture Strategy, AIQ, IBM and Microsoft, explored the potential of AI in energy: unlocking up to US $1.3 trillion in economic value by 2030 and cutting 5–10% of global greenhouse gas emissions through smarter energy systems and grids.
