The Rising Energy Demand of AI Artificial intelligence (AI) has quickly become one of the most energy-intensive drivers of digital transformation. From large language models (LLM) to hyperscale data centers, the computational demand behind AI systems is surging. Recent industry discussions highlight how AI growth and workloads could significantly increase global electricity consumption over the next decade. This trend is raising urgent questions for ESG leaders: can innovati

A Solar Success Story—and a Wake-Up Call for APAC Energy Planning (and ESG) If you’ve been following the clean-energy transition, you may have heard the term “duck curve.” It sounds casual, but it describes a very real operational challenge that shows up when a power system adds lots of solar PV in a short period of time—something many APAC markets are actively doing. What is the duck curve? The duck curve is a chart of net load —the electricity that the grid must supply a

Grid Innovation is one of the most important and fast‑moving areas of sustainability and energy transition today. Let’s look into more details today. What Is Grid Innovation? Grid Innovation refers to the modernization and smart transformation of the electrical power grid — the system that generates, transmits, and distributes electricity — to make it more flexible, efficient, and sustainable . Traditionally, power grids were designed for one‑way electricity flow (from l
