AI and Plant Modernization 

The energy and utility industry is rapidly evolving, and artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a futuristic concept — it’s a practical tool ready to drive operational improvements today. Whether optimizing grid performance, predicting equipment failures, automating compliance processes, or strengthening OT cybersecurity, AI is delivering measurable value right now.

However, many utilities are stuck in endless exploration and pilot projects, slowing their progress and missing near-term opportunities. The key to unlocking AI’s full potential lies in combining rapid prototyping with functional expertise, enabling utilities to focus on the most impactful use cases while learning how to scale AI across their organizations. And once AI has been implemented, ensuring that the change is not just communicated to the workforce, but fully integrated into every layer of operations, will allow the technology to make the transformative impact that it promises. Learn more about our approach to AI exploration, rapid prototyping, and change enablement.

Workforce Development, NXT GEN® Training, and Change Enablement

The energy industry is experiencing tremendous change, and organizations will need to evolve to meet this moment. Whether implementing new data capabilities to manage the proliferation of communicating SCADA devices at the grid edge, scaling up transmission resources to help interconnect more dispersed utility-scale renewable assets, or upskilling back-office and field functions to maximize the effectiveness of various IT/OT investments, effectively managing the utility workforce will be critical.

Organizations that have successfully implemented a comprehensive and integrated workforce planning and management process will be better positioned to respond to the evolving challenges in recruiting, retaining, and developing the right skills and talent for their businesses. Workforce planning and development is not a one-time process; instead, it should be regularly revisited, particularly for the utility industry that is evolving more rapidly than ever with new workforce composition and skill requirements.
