The national energy conversation today focuses on the increasing need for energy load to meet the needs of the artificial intelligence race. However, the nation's energy grid, which is increasingly more complex with the integration of renewable resources, also stands to benefit from the use of AI-powered automation and other advanced tools. These tools bring benefits such as improved load forecasting, ability to make the interconnection process more predictable, mitigation of grid disruptions and more. Join this three-hour Forum and workshop, facilitated by national advanced energy business association Advanced Energy United to learn about technology solutions and contribute to a solutions-oriented discussion about the policy and regulatory mechanisms needed to ensure that utilities can take advantage of such tools.
