UNLOCKING DIGITAL INTELLIGENCE FOR A SMARTER GREENER ENERGY FUTURE

With the advancement of AI compute, energy systems are entering a period of unprecedented opportunity and challenge. The rapid growth of data centres and the deployment of large AI models are accelerating the digital transformation of the energy sector, creating powerful synergies between AI and energy. At the same time, these developments are driving a surge in electricity demand, intensifying the need for urgent infrastructure upgrades.

 

AI for Energy Transition APAC 2026 (#AIETA2026) taking place on 8–9 July in Melbourne, Australia, is APAC’s premier summit for leaders at the intersection of AI and energy. More than 350 executives from the energy sector, AI, cloud, data centres, digital infrastructure, and policy communities will gather to explore how AI is reshaping the energy landscape —from powering compute-intensive operations to enabling intelligent grids, renewable integration, and asset optimisation. The program will feature panels on AI–energy dynamics, digital power markets, grid resilience, integrated data-centre-and-renewable solutions, and AI-driven asset and carbon management.

Co-located with Australia Wind Energy 2026, Carbon Capture APAC Summit 2026 and SAF APAC Summit 2026, #AIETA2026 provides a unique platform for cross-sector collaboration and partnership building—driving a smarter, greener, and more connected energy future across APAC.
