Siemens calls for more investment in power grids, artificial intelligence and resilience of energy systems
The Siemens Infrastructure Transition Monitor 2025 is a study which surveyed 1,400 senior executives and government representatives in 19 countries across energy, buildings and industries. The 2025 edition is the second in the series and launches ahead of COP30.
In an international study of 1,400 senior executives and government representatives
commissioned by Siemens, a majority of respondents said
that energy security
had replaced global cooperation on climate protection as the most important
driver of the energy transition. The most important governmental priority of
the infrastructure transition should be a resilient energy supply, according to
one of the
results. To mitigate the use of energy as a
geopolitical tool, many
governments are increasingly focusing on energy
security, independence
and preparedness. Siemens is therefore calling for resilience to be
given much greater weight in energy‐system planning than it has received to date. Energy
resilience can
be achieved, among other things, through targeted investments in digitalization,
modernization and expansion of electricity grids. The use of digital
technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced hardware can
further enhance the resilience of critical infrastructure.
A summary of the results at a glance:
Climate priorities shifting towards security
With resilience and energy security now
taking precedence, confidence in achieving global climate goals is starting to
fall. More than half (57%) of global executives expect increased investment in
fossil fuels over the next two years, and just 37% of businesses now believe
they will meet their 2030 decarbonization targets – down from 44% in 2023. More
investment in energy grids and faster digitalization could advance both climate
goals and energy resilience more quickly, according to one of the findings of
the infrastructure study.
Artificial Intelligence will accelerate the transition
As national energy strategies evolve,
digital technologies remain at the heart of the infrastructure transition.
Digitalization ranks as the second most important factor in accelerating the
clean energy transition for industries – just behind expanding energy storage –
with AI expected to have the greatest positive impact. Respondents
believe that AI is helping to make critical infrastructure more resilient (66%)
and report that their organizations are using AI to help decarbonize their
operations (59%).

division of the Financial Times Group. It surveyed 1,400 senior executives and
government representatives in 19 countries across energy, buildings and
industries. The 2025 edition is the second in the series and launches ahead of
COP30.
