The energy sector is central to Europe’s industrial strategy and global competitiveness, says Gary Lawrence, Power and Grid Segment President at Schneider Electric. He emphasizes the key role of AI and community participation in accelerating the energy transition. AI can optimize energy production, enhance grid management, and personalize consumption, while also improving infrastructure efficiency. Additionally, energy sovereignty, industrial electrification, and the rapid adoption of renewable technologies are crucial for Europe to achieve its climate and economic goals by 2030.
