AI has huge potential to help the energy sector achieve its net zero goals and improve customer outcomes, but it’s not always clear where it can genuinely make a difference. As terms like “AI-powered” are increasingly part of the industry’s vocabulary, it’s easy to get caught up in the technology and lose sight of the real focus: the problems we’re trying to solve.
This breakfast briefing, sponsored by Softwire, will bring the discussion back to what matters: where AI can add real value, where the risks sit, and what it takes to use these tools well. With examples from across the energy sector, industry practitioners will deliver punchy, fast-paced talks exploring how AI is being applied today, what’s changing quickly, and how to make informed choices about what comes next in an area where the risks are as critical as the mission.
Confirmed speakers include:
- Dr Jamie Bright, Data Science & Development Manager, UK Power Networks
- Daisy Cross, Head of Future Retail Markets, Energy UK
- Marcus Gardiner, Client Director, Softwire (Chair)
- Samuel Young, AI Practice Manager, Energy Systems Catapult
