The power and utility industry is at a pivotal moment - balancing sustainability goals, grid reliability and operational efficiency in the face of rapid technological change. Data-driven innovation is no longer optional; it is the key to building a resilient, future-proof energy ecosystem.
In partnership with AVEVA and powered by Energy Connects, we held an engaging webinar on 19 November 2025 at 14:00 SGT | 11:30 IST | 10:00 GST featuring global experts from AVEVA, Adani Energy Solutions Ltd., and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).
Together, they explored how cutting-edge data technologies, artificial intelligence and digital asset management were transforming the sector. Whether attendees were utility executives, operations leaders, or technology strategists, they gained practical insights into how data and innovation could drive operational intelligence and support evolving energy demands sustainably.
