AI for Power Challenge
We’re excited to share a new initiative launched in collaboration with EPRI’s Incubatenergy Labs® (IEL): the AI for Power Challenge! This program is designed to translate industry-prioritized AI use cases into real-world demonstration projects. By leveraging IEL’s proven challenge model, it creates a structured pathway for utilities, EPRI, and technology providers to collaborate, test, validate, and de-risk AI solutions through accelerated demonstrations. Insights and results will be shared across participants to accelerate adoption and reduce duplication.
