AI, Digitalisation & Data

Artificial intelligence and digitalisation are transforming how energy systems are planned, managed, and monitored. Regional and local energy agencies are increasingly incorporating AI and data-driven approaches to improve energy efficiency, forecast renewable generation, manage grids, and support public authorities in developing climate and decarbonisation strategies. Many are already experimenting with digital tools, regional energy observatories, and data visualisation platforms, building capacity to turn complex datasets into actionable insights. As these technologies become central to the energy transition, developing AI and data skills will be essential for all agencies to ensure resilient and sustainable communities.
