Driving Global Discourse: Three Strategic AI-Energy Sessions
REC is convening three thematic sessions in collaboration with leading international organizations, focusing on the intersection of artificial intelligence, clean energy transition, and infrastructure financing.
Global Mission on AI for Energy
- Date: February 16
- Time: 16:30 – 17:25 hrs
- Venue: L2 Audi I
- Partner: International Solar Alliance
This session will explore the development of “AI-ready” and “citizen-ready” power systems. The objective is to align global leadership on high-impact AI use cases that can make clean electricity more affordable, inclusive, and accessible to communities worldwide.
The AI-Energy-Finance Trifecta
- Date: February 17
- Time: 10:30 – 11:25 hrs
- Venue: Room No. 10
- Partner: World Bank
This discussion will focus on the rapid expansion of energy-intensive data centers and their implications for India’s energy ecosystem. The session will examine policy frameworks and financing models required to enable AI-driven energy optimization and promote resilient, green data-center infrastructure in India.
India Energy Stack (IES) and the AI-Ready Power Sector
- Date: February 18
- Time: 11:30 – 12:25 hrs
- Venue: West Wing, Room 4A
- Partner: FSR Global
This session will highlight the India Energy Stack (IES) as a common, interoperable digital infrastructure for the power sector. Discussions will focus on how digital public infrastructure can reduce integration costs and facilitate a shift from “energy access” to “energy agency,” empowering consumers with greater control over their energy choices.
Launch of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Energy Trading Initiative
A major highlight of the summit will be the official launch of a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) energy trading program during the India Energy Stack session.
This innovative initiative aims to transform electricity consumers into active participants in the energy marketplace. By leveraging secure and interoperable digital protocols:
- Households can sell surplus rooftop solar power directly to neighbors.
