The Utility-AI Playbook: A Practitioner’s View from the Grid Edge

The Utility-AI Playbook: A Practitioner’s View from the Grid Edge

AI in utilities isn’t about replacing people—it’s about process, trust, and governance. The Utility-AI Playbook outlines seven steps to make intelligence utility-grade: start small, structure data, fine-tune, phase in, measure, govern, and evolve. Reliability remains human-led.

The OpenAI–AMD Accord in Context: From Silicon Optionality to Grid Sovereignty

The OpenAI–AMD Accord in Context: From Silicon Optionality to Grid Sovereignty

OpenAI’s 6-GW deal with AMD marks AI’s growing dependence on real power. It’s a milestone linking silicon to substations, forcing planners and policymakers to treat compute demand as part of the energy system, not apart from it.

Grid Innovations Without Guardrails: Why Utility AI Demands Governance

Grid Innovations Without Guardrails: Why Utility AI Demands Governance

AI is transforming grid operations—forecasting renewables, managing EVs, and detecting wildfires—but without governance, risks of bias, cyberattacks, and black-box failures grow. The missing link is systemic oversight to ensure transparency, safety, and accountability.
