Why artificial intelligence is a game-changer for renewable energy

The energy sector faces pressing challenges and needs to act with urgency. Policy commitments to a net-zero future, such as the Paris Agreement, mean the transformation to a low-carbon economy must come at pace. Major disruption to the electricity sector is on the cards as governments ramp up renewables and transition away from fossil fuels. While renewable energy looks set to flourish amid this backdrop, its intermittent nature means solutions will need to be found to keep grids stable. Additionally, the industry is changing from a market based on commodity pricing to a market based on technology solutions in order to integrate renewable energy.
