October 2025 Virtual Press Briefing: AI Takes Hold in the Electric Utility Space

Join the USEA Channel today to access the October Virtual Press Briefing, unlock these essential energy insights, and more!

Artificial intelligence has become ubiquitous, touching every endeavor to varying degrees. To utilities, it has become essential. Those that have hesitated are rushing to catch up. At first, it was a predictive tool used in weather forecasting, wildfire suppression, maintenance anticipation, and load calculations. Now it is finding its way into operations and management. The data centers that make AI possible are also the greatest source of growing electricity demand and income. This puts utilities in the position of getting benefits — and challenges — coming and going. Utilities and AI are entwined, inseparable and mutually dependent. Many questions hang over this dual role as user and supplier.

The United States Energy Association will examine the dynamic and volatile AI-utility connection at its next virtual press briefing, scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 22, at 11 a.m. 

Our upcoming October Virtual Press Briefing will be live streamed exclusively on YouTube for our highest tier: Energy Champion members.
