Description

The rapid digitalisation of electricity networks is reshaping how modern grids operate, particularly as electrification, renewable integration, and new consumer-side technologies accelerate global demand. Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a foundational capability enabling utilities to anticipate grid congestion, optimise load, and automate distribution operations with unprecedented precision. From high-resolution forecasting and dynamic line rating to grid-aware demand-side flexibility, AI now underpins many of the most advanced approaches to maintaining reliability while reducing system costs.

Demand-side flexibility—driven by AI-enhanced demand response, virtual power plants, and distributed energy resource management systems (DERMS)—is becoming a cornerstone of market evolution in the United States, Europe, and beyond. Data-rich AI systems can coordinate millions of decentralised assets, from home batteries to EV chargers, providing rapid, scalable flexibility that rivals traditional generation resources. At the same time, distribution automation is entering a new phase, with cloud analytics and edge AI working in tandem to improve situational awareness, support bidirectional power flows, and manage the complexities of increasingly decentralised power systems.

As policymakers sharpen focus on resilience, affordability, and decarbonisation, the economic case for AI in grid operations is strengthening. Case studies across global utilities demonstrate measurable improvements in reliability, peak reduction, and capital deferral, supported by growing regulatory momentum for flexibility and digital grid investment. This report explores the technological, market, and regulatory dynamics driving AI adoption in congestion forecasting, load control markets, and distribution automation—highlighting both the commercial opportunity and the strategic challenges that must be managed to realise a smarter, more flexible grid.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
