Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping economies, industries, and energy systems. At the same time, the growth of AI-driven applications is increasing electricity demand, particularly from data centres and high-performance computing infrastructure. This creates new challenges for energy systems in terms of capacity planning, reliability, and grid stability.

Beyond being a source of demand, AI also offers opportunities to improve how energy systems are operated and managed. Applications in forecasting, optimisation, and real-time grid control are increasingly being explored to enhance system efficiency and resilience.

This roundtable will explore the dual role of AI in the energy sector, both as a driver of new electricity demand and as a tool that can support more stable and efficient power systems. It will also examine what is needed to enable the responsible and coordinated adoption of AI across energy systems.
