2024 Resourcefulness ReportExploring AI for Utilities
Artificial intelligence can increase productivity and make sense of massive amounts of data. But its appetite for power and water begs the question: Is AI a problem or a solution for utilities?
Today, perhaps somewhere near you, a data center will consume as much energy and water as a small city. The demands on utilities are growing so much, and so rapidly, that it’s hard to imagine keeping up with them by relying on what we’ve always done in the past. Population growth, new construction, electrical vehicle (EV) charging points, and the ravenous appetite of data centers that power our digital lives are putting historic stresses on electricity, gas and water utilities. Our 2024 Resourcefulness Report explores how utility executives view AI’s role in addressing these challenges.

Powering the Energy Transition
A transition to cleaner energy delivery is well underway in the U.S. What does this transition mean to utilities, commissioners and consumers?
2023 Report
Widespread electrification is creating the need for more capacity, control and flexibility. In this report, we asked utilities and state commissioners: How can we create the best future for the U.S. electric grid?

2023 Research
To address the energy transition, utilities will need to anticipate demand, balancing load across intelligent infrastructure as energy customers consume (and in some cases generate) power. See the supporting research that complements our 2023 Resourcefulness Report.
