Smarter asset management is becoming mission-critical, and artificial intelligence is giving utilities the tools to make it possible.

In the session “AI-Powered Operations: Insights from Northeastern Utilities,” industry leaders Junhui Zhao (Eversource Energy), Umair Zia (Long Island Power Authority), Qing Wei (New York Power Authority), Christopher Healey (National Grid), and Po-Chen Chen (Tata Consultancy Services) will share real-world examples of AI in action.

From computer vision for asset inspections to advanced analytics for asset health, machine learning for load forecasting, outage management, and even large language models supporting field operations, this panel will explore how utilities are applying AI today to strengthen reliability and reshape operations for the future.

The Iowa Environmental Council has released its 2025 Iowa Electric Generation Condition of the State report, detailing that utilities are still far off from a 2035 net zero emissions goal, with progress towards net zero further complicated by the accelerated timeline towards tax credit expiry. Under the Biden administration's Inflation Reduction Act, solar and wind projects were eligible for tax credits through 2032, but the July passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill has shrunk that timeline, with projects needing to break ground by July 4, 2026, and see completion before 2028, to qualify for federal tax credits. Insiders agree developers will need to be aggressive in implementing their projects to take advantage of the remaining federal tax incentives.

GE Vernova has announced plans to invest 22.2 million Canadian dollars - just a little over $16 million US - in Quebec factories. Canada's energy needs are expected to double by 2050, and the province of Quebec - sometimes called French Canada - is projecting a demand increase of up to 35% by 2035. Quebec's government is moving ahead with a $150 billion capital expansion portion of public utility Hydro-Québec's $200 billion 2035 Action Plan to upgrade the grid, expand hydropower and wind capacity, and modernize infrastructure.

Academics at the University of Michigan Law School and University of San Francisco School of Law have been working towards a new legal and industry framework for managing data centers' new demands on the power grid. Professors Alexandra Klass and Dave Owen will debut an article in the upcoming edition of the George Washington Law Review, detailing a proposal to treat data centers and other information technology infrastructure superusers as an entirely separate customer class with special rules and a unique level of flexibility. Klass and Owen's approach is based on existing utility management frameworks, drawing inspiration from the management of natural gas and water by state and market actors in the Mountain and Pacific Coast regions of the U.S.

How do you transform demand response from a program into a powerful tool for grid efficiency?

In the session “Transforming Demand Response: Leveraging Advanced DRMS and Battery Storage for Enhanced Grid Efficiency,” Gerrianna Cohen and Lars-Olaf Hoeger (Consolidated Edison Company of New York), Parth Viswanathan (EY), and Kohil Vyas (EY) will share how advanced DRMS software and battery storage are redefining scalability, automation, and real-time performance.

From a 20-fold increase in enrollments to enhanced visibility, automation, and dispatching of battery assets, this session uncovers how demand response is evolving into a cornerstone of grid reliability and efficiency.

This summer, key stakeholders across the state of California teamed up for a first-of-its kind, coordinated test of virtual power plant (or VPP) capabilities. Thousands of systems dispatched a whopping 535 megawatts and reduced net load during the evening peak in a successful demonstration of the potential impact that distributed energy resources can have.

On this episode of the podcast, Factor This host Paul Gerke welcomes Kendrick Li, who handles demand response for Pacific Gas and Electric Company, one of the three California utilities that teamed up for the massive VPP test. Their conversation starts at the 101 level, then gets deep into the weeds on how these systems work, how they might be deployed, and the roadblocks to larger customer adoption.
