Inside this volume
The grid is under more pressure than at any point in its history. Cyber-attacks on the energy sector jumped 42% in a single year. More than half of grid infrastructure in advanced economies has exceeded 20 years in service.
And the technologies to address these challenges (from HVDC systems to grid-forming inverters) are commercially ready but stubbornly under-deployed. Our four-part Innovation at Risk article examines exactly why.
How Artificial General Intelligence can improve predictive maintenance, grid optimisation, fault detection and smarter utility operations.
How African cities are using digital innovation to improve utility services, urban resilience and smarter infrastructure planning.
How growing data centre demand is reshaping electricity systems, renewable integration and long-term grid planning.
How prepayment metering is evolving into an interoperable foundation for smarter, more connected utility networks.
Plus: IoT and SCADA convergence, AMI governance, utility data strategies and standout energy projects from across Africa.
