The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the energy sector presents a significant opportunity for reduction of costs, decarbonisation and energy efficiency. The energy system is becoming more and more complex, with rising electrification, inverter-based renewables, distributed energy resources, more data available and digitalised communications and controls. Foundation models could be a powerful tool to tackle these challenges, with the use of large amounts of unstructured data.
Multiple applications in grid management, such as forecast, congestion management, anomaly detection, power flow solutions, transient modelling or predictive maintenance, could enhance real time operation, planning, and asset management. Additionally, they could be combined with consumption data enabling enhanced renewable integration and demand side flexibility.
- 15 September 2025 – Opportunities of AI and foundation models in the energy sector
The workshop will aim at identifying the potential of AI and foundation models for energy, the barriers for their development and deployment, and the interest from the actors involved in developing solutions.
Registration link will be available shortly - 25 September 2025 – Challenges and risks related to the use of AI in the energy sector
The workshop will aim at identifying the key challenges and risks linked to large deployment of AI in the energy sector, focusing on the case of high-risk AI systems and the related regulatory framework.

The workshops are addressing mainly stakeholders from digital and energy value chains, including network operators, IT suppliers, SMEs, aggregators, system integrators, digital solutions providers, data center operators, cloud service providers, consumers, energy communities, appliance manufacturers, research community, energy intensive industries, building operators, car manufacturers and providers of e-mobility solutions.
The European Commission will use both workshops to discuss about policy actions of the future Strategic Roadmap for Digitalisation and AI in the energy sector.
