Session: The Intelligence Edge: How AI is Shaping the Future of Energy Access
As the world accelerates toward a more sustainable and equitable energy future, emerging markets face unique challenges in delivering reliable, affordable, and clean power. At Zola Intelligence, we are harnessing the power of artificial intelligence to transform how energy is distributed, monitored, and optimized across distributed infrastructure networks. This presentation explores the cutting-edge applications of AI in energy access—from predictive maintenance and intelligent load management to data-driven decision-making that enables scalable impact. Attendees will gain insights into how AI is not only enhancing operational efficiency but also driving social and economic progress by connecting communities to reliable energy. Join us to discover the “intelligence edge” that is shaping the future of energy access and learn how technology, innovation, and human-centered design converge to power a brighter tomorrow.
