Uniting the Electric Sector with Advanced AI Solutions
The Open Power AI Consortium aims to evolve the electric sector by leveraging advanced AI technologies to innovate the way electricity is made, moved, and used by customers. By fostering collaboration among industry leaders, researchers, and technology providers, the consortium will drive the development and deployment of cutting-edge AI solutions tailored to enhance operational efficiencies, increase resiliency and reliability, deploy emerging and sustainable technologies, and reduce costs while improving the customer experience.
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.
