AI is building an energy-efficient culture, cutting greenhouse gas emissions

By leveraging AI in various use cases, utilities can reduce costs, improve efficiency, and enhance customer engagement.

Our goal is to foster an energy-efficient culture that equitably reduces greenhouse gas emissions and mitigates climate change. The power sector in India has grown with a CAGR of around 5 percent over the last decade. Per capita consumption has increased from 1000 to 1400 kilowatt-hours, indicating a 40% year-on-year increase in electricity consumption.

At one point, India had a high capacity of coal and is now moving towards renewable energy sources. The shift towards renewable energy will bring energy security, but it will also present challenges, such as managing intermittent variable electricity. However, this shift will lead to energy independence and reduced reliance on imports, enabling faster and more sustainable progress. Al's ability to identify cleaner energy options makes its role increasingly important.

Use cases of Al

There are many use cases where Al is contributing significantly, as mentioned hereunder:

Drones are being used for transmission and distribution inspections, particularly in the transmission sector, due to their ability to navigate long lines.
