The 16th session of the Assembly of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), held under the theme “Powering Humanity: Renewable Energy for Shared Prosperity”, commenced on Sunday in Abu Dhabi.
The energy sector will see a significant shift towards AI-driven optimization of renewable energy integration, grid management, and energy forecasting. This will enable a more reliable and cost-effective transition to renewable energy sources and the industry can expect heightened competition in developing and deploying AI solutions for renewable energy management.
Energy companies will need to integrate AI-powered tools into their operations to manage the intermittency of renewable sources, optimize energy storage solutions, and predict energy demand more accurately. This will require upskilling existing staff or hiring AI specialists and adapting workflows to incorporate AI-driven insights.
