GLOBAL DECARBONISATION
Autonomous grids capable of selfhealing, load balancing and real-time optimisation are no longer distant ambitions.
With 72 % of energy-sector respondents expecting AI to transform their operations within three years, many are already preparing for a new era of intelligent, automated energy management.
Smart buildings as strategic assets Buildings are also gaining new strategic importance within the infrastructure transition.
Through digital platforms, AI and autonomous systems, they can now anticipate demand, interact dynamically with the grid and optimise performance in real time.
However, progress is uneven: while onsite renewables and electrified heating are advancing, energy efficiency and material reuse have stalled due to high costs and limited finance.
