Over the last decade, there has been a global urgency to come up with smart energy sources to prevent an impending doom for the planet. Governments all over the world are looking for alternative clean energy sources to reduce their carbon footprint. While clean energy sources like wind and solar energy sources have been around for a long time, they are not entirely feasible. Both solar and wind energy are dependent on sunshine and wind. These drawbacks can be overcome with a reliable storage source, making renewable energy feasible on a large scale. Batteries with high storage capacities have been under development for a few years now. Consumers can have varying tastes and continue to have a controlling hand on which energy supplier remains at the top. As the population becomes more aware of the need for smart energy, there has been an increase in demand for diverse renewable energy sources. Disruptive technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain have made a significant impact to the industry, dwarfing the old methods, and increasing overall efficiency.Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been making headlines in various industries, and the energy sector is no different. Leveraging AI has helped companies to critically examine large volumes of data and identify the changing trends in energy generation and consumption. At the same time, smart meters and smart energy management systems have also benefitted vastly from the integration with AI. The technology can help speed up production, reduce waste, and help executives make more efficient decisions. As global leaders continue their search for a sustainable source of energy for all humanity, the energy sector continues to evolve rapidly and explore new ways to a smarter and cleaner future. In this edition of Energy CIO Insights, we have made a list of companies that have shown promising growth and are at the forefront of the smart energy race. We hope this will help you to make informed choices to fulfill your smart energy requirements.
