Summary - AI in Renewables 2027

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly evolving from an emerging digital tool into a strategic enabler across the renewable energy value chain with the growing complexity and connectedness of power systems. AI is being deployed across various applications across the entire renewable energy ecosystem,ranging from resource assessment, generation forecasting and predictive maintenance to asset optimisation, energy trading andautomated operations, as well as supporting the integration of renewables and energy storage.

By enabling more accurate forecasting, faster decision-making and more adaptive grid management, AI is helping renewable energy developers, utilities, equipment manufacturers and system operatorsimprove efficiency, reliability and overall system performance,while reducing costs.

As AI adoption accelerates and stakeholders move from AI pilots to scalable and commercially viable solutions, focused efforts are required in the areas of quality data, digital infrastructure, cybersecurity, interoperability, skills and governance frameworks. While AI is being used across multiple applications, intelligence is required to improve AI-driven decision-making and ensure responsible, transparent and secure use of the technologyto operate increasingly complex and dynamic clean energy systems.

The conference will provide a platform for policy makers and regulators, renewable energy developers, grid planners and operators, EPC and O&M contractors, technology providers, advanced software platform providers, cybersecurity experts, investors, legal firms and researchers to deliberate the key opportunities and bottlenecks in the area of AI for renewables. The conference will delve into key trends and applications across O&M, forecasting and scheduling, grid management and improving project economics. It will also focus on impact on the workforce, cybersecurity concerns and moving from pilots to commercial projects.
