Building AI-Native Operations in Energy
Predictive maintenance, wildfire detection, and load forecasting are already running on AI inside the world's leading utilities. Here's where the value is proven, where regulators are drawing lines, and where to start.
The grid is aging into its most demanding decade
Assets built for the last century are meeting demand built for this one: 70% of large transformers are 25+ years old, while data centers, electrification, and record renewables drive load growth utilities haven’t seen in a generation.
AI only widens the gap: bolted onto siloed SCADA and paper inspection logs, it automates the backlog. Built on governed, real-time grid data, it compounds instead.
Most utilities are still stuck in pilot mode
Adoption looks strong — 81% of North American utilities already use AI somewhere — but only 41% call it fully integrated, and the rest name expertise, not technology, as the blocker. What separates the four operators above isn't model access; it's that they redesigned the underlying workflow instead of bolting AI onto the existing one.
The AI Executive in Energy & Utilities Program
A live, practical, highly personalized six-week program preparing a new breed of AI-native leaders in energy and utilities. During the program you build a fundable, governed AI-native initiative from your own organization — asset health, wildfire risk, load forecasting, or field operations — designed, evidenced, and governed on our AI Transformation OS, and validated by the World AI Council.
Between sessions: one-on-one coaching on your initiative, whenever you need it.
Built for those ready to become AI-native leaders in energy & utilities.
Leaders join from across the utility — grid operations, generation, renewables, safety, technology. Fully personalized: you build a real, executable initiative in your own organization.
