AI is transforming the energy sector, enhancing efficiency, optimization, and decarbonization. From grid management to predictive maintenance, AI is enabling smarter energy systems but also driving higher power consumption, posing new infrastructure challenges.
AI’s computing demands double every 100 days, with data centers already consuming 2% of global energy (IEA). As AI adoption grows, balancing its energy needs with sustainability will be crucial.
China aims to be a global AI leader, with its Next Generation AI Development Plan positioning it as an innovation hub by 2030. With $1.5 trillion in digital energy investments by 2025, China is accelerating AI, machine learning, and smart energy systems to boost efficiency, cut emissions, and integrate renewables.
China Energy Week’s Energy for AI will spotlight AI’s role in energy and its rising power demands. Featuring a dedicated exhibit and conference sessions, it will showcase AI-driven solutions and foster collaboration among industry leaders and policymakers.
