AI Revolutionizes India's Energy Sector

AI is pivotal in managing the complexities of India's power sector, particularly with the increase in renewables. International Energy Agency expert Siddharth Singh highlights the need for AI in improving energy forecasting and handling variable electricity from solar and wind sources to meet long-term energy goals.

AI is set to play a crucial role in transforming India's power sector by managing its growing complexities, according to Siddharth Singh of the International Energy Agency. As renewables like solar and wind become more prevalent, the energy sector increasingly relies on AI for better management and forecasting.

At the AI Impact Summit, Singh emphasized the challenge of integrating variable renewable electricity into existing systems. Unlike stable sources used in the past, solar and wind demand real-time tracking and forecasting, making AI indispensable for this transition.

By the end of the decade, the share of variable renewables is expected to rise significantly. AI-driven solutions will be essential for optimizing energy distribution, achieving sustainability, and meeting India's long-term energy goals.
