AI to power the next phase of clean energy transition
AI to power the next phase of clean energy transition
The
Siemens Infrastructure Transition Monitor 2025, which
surveyed 1,400 senior executives, shows that 59 percent of energy
industry leaders plan major investments in autonomous systems for
grids, and 68 percent view them as crucial for cutting emissions.
Nearly three-quarters (72 percent) of organizations in the sector say
that, over the next three years, AI will transform how their business
operates, with 74 percent saying that AI is helping to make critical
infrastructure more resilient.
Respondents indicated that the
most likely outcomes from increased use of autonomous systems to
manage power grids are lower operating costs, increased energy
efficiency, and greater reliability.
While the 2025 study indicated
significant progress on a number of important goals such as the
phase-out of fossil fuel energy and the expansion of large-scale
energy storage and renewable generation compared to results in the
2023 Infrastructure Transition Monitor, there are still opportunities
for even greater progress.
Indeed, over half of companies
in the energy sector (58 percent) say uncertainty about future energy
system design is delaying investment in clean energy technologies.
And, while 65 percent agree that electrification is the most feasible
way to achieve net zero energy systems, 73 percent report that it is
being held back by inadequate grid infrastructure.
Sabine Erlinghagen, CEO of
Siemens Grid Software, said: “Outdated grid infrastructure poses a
serious threat to the clean energy transition. By harnessing digital
technologies to move towards autonomous grids, it is possible to
boost grid capacity, ensuring its reliability and resilience. To that
end, regulation must also keep pace with digitalization and
innovation - ensuring that our energy systems are equipped to meet
the demands of a clean energy future.
About the Siemens Infrastructure Transition Monitor:
The
Siemens Infrastructure Transition Monitor 2025 is a
biennial study commissioned by Siemens, surveying 1,400 senior
executives and government representatives in 19 countries across
energy, buildings and industries.
