Abstract: The Energy & Utilities (E&U) sector is undergoing an unprecedented wave of transformation, driven by the convergence of grid modernization, decarbonization imperatives, and the growing demand by AI and electrification. This session explores how cloud-enabled technologies including Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Generative AI, IoT, advanced data analytics, and edge computing are driving tangible industrial outcomes across the Energy vertical. Through real-world use cases and industry deployments, we will examine the practical role of these technologies in reshaping energy operations and accelerating the journey toward cleaner, more efficient, and more resilient energy systems. Attendees will gain a unified perspective on the evolving cloud solution landscape, key industry trends, and a structured framework for evaluating and prioritizing technology investments that deliver measurable value — regardless of where their organization currently stands on its digital transformation journey.
