Agentic AI on the Grid: When Energy Systems Start Making Decisions
What if the electricity grid had its own fleet of AI agents that proactively managed demand, negotiates with markets, and even decides when to shift load?
This panel explores the rise of agentic AI, autonomous, goal-driven systems that are capable of operating the grid.
We’ll dive into:
⚡How agentic AI is shaping demand response
⚡The ethical, economic, and regulatory questions:
⚡Who is accountable for the decisions?
⚡Real-world use cases and pilots
⚡Why this is the next frontier in grid intelligence
