From AI and IoT to microgrids and energy management systems, gain insights into emerging trends, market statistics, real-life examples, enabling technologies & more! Global energy consumption is projected to increase by nearly 50% by 2050, primarily driven by economic and population growth in. Digitalisation & Energy is the International Energy Agency's first comprehensive effort to depict how digitalisation could transform the world's energy systems. The report examines the impact of digital technologies on energy demand sectors, looks at how energy suppliers can use digital tools to. This article is part of a series exploring the key themes of discussion throughout World Energy Congress 2027, covering the issues at the forefront of energy transitions. The energy sector is undergoing a profound transformation, entering what many are calling the 'smart energy era'. This new age. The agency's Digitalisation and AI for Power System Transformation report, which it developed together with the G7 Presidency, says that the COP28 goal of tripling renewable energy capacity by 2030 can be "catalyzed by digitalization". In 2025, five digital trends are standing out as decisive.
