Electric utilities are increasingly exploring how artificial intelligence (AI) can complement traditional modeling and planning frameworks to tackle today’s most pressing grid challenges.
Utility leaders seek to connect AI tools to applications where they can drive the greatest value.
In this Whitepaper, CRA’s Energy consultants Christine Oumansour, Oliver Stover, Tayler Amatto, and Johnattan Ontiveros, have found that a pragmatic and problems-driven framework will help deliver measurable impact. AI cannot fix broken processes—but it can amplify well-aligned strategies, reduce inefficiencies, and drive sharper, faster decision-making.
As utilities navigate decarbonization, aging infrastructure, and unprecedented load growth, AI should no longer be treated as an optional innovation. It must be embedded as a core strategic capability.
