Microsoft and Nvidia are taking another step beyond the familiar AI data-center story, this time aiming their combined software stack at one of the hardest infrastructure problems in the energy sector: nuclear power. According to the companies’ announcement, the partnership will use Microsoft...

The Iberian blackout of April 28, 2025 — an unprecedented, region‑wide loss of power that left trains halted, communications severed and banking services temporarily unusable — crystallised a stark lesson for utilities and energy operators: fragmented data, disconnected systems and weak...

HELLENiQ ENERGY’s shift from an oil-and-refining heritage to a digital-first, AI-enabled workplace is no longer a boardroom aspiration—it’s a functioning reality that has reshaped how the group manages knowledge, serves employees, and measures productivity across a diverse energy portfolio...

Microsoft’s CEO Satya Nadella issued a blunt reminder this week: the AI boom cannot be a winner-takes-all sprint limited to a handful of companies or regions, and it must earn the public’s permission to consume vastly more energy — or risk running headlong into political and social pushback that...

Schneider Electric’s One Digital Grid Platform is a pragmatic, AI-first push to stitch planning, operations and asset management into a single modular environment — promising faster outage restoration, better DER (distributed energy resource) integration and a path to grid modernisation that...

Infosys has unveiled a domain‑specific AI Agent for the energy industry that combines the company’s Topaz agent fabric and Infosys Cobalt cloud blueprints with Microsoft’s Copilot Studio and Azure OpenAI Foundry-hosted models (including GPT‑family multimodal models) to deliver conversational...

Infosys’ announcement marks a deliberate step into agentic AI for heavy industry: the company unveiled an AI agent designed to digitize and automate operations across the energy sector, bundling its own Topaz AI-first stack and Infosys Cobalt cloud services with Microsoft Copilot Studio, Azure...

Infosys’ new AI agent for the energy sector signals a purposeful shift from proof-of-concept experiments to agentic, production-ready solutions that promise to turn mountains of field data into conversational, actionable intelligence for drilling, production and field operations. The vendor says...

Infosys’ new AI Agent for energy operations is a purposeful step toward industrializing agentic AI across drilling, production and field operations — promising faster analysis of well logs, automated report generation, and predictive alerts while leaning on Infosys’ Topaz and Cobalt portfolios...

ADNOC’s addition of Masdar and XRG to its multi‑party deal with Microsoft reframes a familiar corporate narrative — enterprise AI meets national energy strategy — into an explicit plan to both use AI to decarbonize and to build the low‑carbon power that will enable AI at scale. The agreement...

ADNOC, Masdar, XRG and Microsoft announced a high‑profile strategic agreement at the ENACT Majlis in Abu Dhabi to accelerate “AI‑for‑energy” and to build the low‑carbon power systems that will underpin the next wave of hyperscale AI — a deal that stitches together an oil major’s operational...

ADNOC, Masdar, XRG and Microsoft announced a strategic alliance at the ENACT Majlis in Abu Dhabi that promises to simultaneously accelerate artificial intelligence across ADNOC’s oil-and-gas value chain and deliver the low‑carbon energy infrastructure required to power Microsoft’s expanding...

If you’ve felt the AGI timeline accelerating, you’re not alone: Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis now says systems with “all the cognitive capabilities humans have” could emerge in five to ten years—perhaps on the shorter end—ushering in “radical abundance” and a transformation “10 times bigger...

Artificial intelligence has swiftly moved from the realm of speculative fiction to the engine room of global industry, unleashing transformative change across virtually every sector—and nowhere is this revolution more intensely felt than within the world of energy infrastructure and digital...
