SYDNEY--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The power and utilities industry in Asia Pacific is increasingly investing in AI and other digital technologies to address operating challenges arising from increased power consumption and renewable energy development, according to new research reports published today by Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm.

Energy demand in Asia Pacific, which accounts for more than half of global electricity consumption, is surging due to industrialization and population growth, ISG says. Data centers, AI, cryptocurrency mining and rapidly growing EV sales are major drivers of demand, and the region is expected to invest more than $3 trillion in power generation over the next decade. In response, power companies are adopting digital solutions for the complex tasks of fortifying grids while integrating new renewable energy sources.

“Utilities in Asia Pacific need to ensure energy security while accommodating a changing energy mix and the growing impacts of climate change,” said Mark Smith, ISG partner and chief software analyst. “Innovative grid and asset management software offers tools to navigate these changes while improving efficiency and reliability, and service providers are helping utilities adapt to new requirements.”

To guide utilities through the selection of software and services, ISG has published the 2024 ISG Provider Lens™ Power & Utilities Industry — Services and Solutions report for Asia Pacific and two ISG Buyers Guides: Power and Utilities Grid Management and Power and Utilities Enterprise Asset Management. Together, the three reports assist companies in choosing both software solutions and providers of consulting, implementation, integration and management services.

Asia Pacific electric utilities are modernizing transmission grids and increasing capacity to support renewable energy expansion and meet net-zero carbon targets, ISG says. This requires integrating new energy sources from remote areas, controlling voltage variability and managing flows to and from customers that generate their own power. Advanced grid planning to minimize energy losses and stabilize peak demand is a crucial part of this transition.

AI is at the core of many energy advancements in Asia Pacific, the ISG Provider Lens report says. Utilities are using AI-enabled forecasting tools to optimize the output of wind and solar farms. AI is also improving energy management by analyzing consumption patterns to optimize grid operations. Meanwhile, AI-powered building systems, such as smart lighting, enhance customers’ energy efficiency.

Facing growing cybersecurity threats against networks, data and applications, utilities and governments in the region are building up digital defenses, ISG says. For example, Australia’s national government has given owners and operators of critical infrastructure new cybersecurity responsibilities, and India has proposed steps such as mandatory cybersecurity audits to ensure the resilience and reliability of that country’s power supply.

“Asia Pacific’s energy evolution comes with new security risks,” said Michael Gale, partner and regional leader, ISG Asia Pacific. “Vendors continually strengthen the security of software platforms, and service providers are helping utilities mount critical regional defenses.”
