Our energy landscape is undergoing rapid transformation. The power grid is no longer just infrastructure; it's a strategic enabler for sustainability across industries, allowing us to electrify processes traditionally reliant on fossil fuels. But this transition requires a modern, collaborative approach.

Ian Fogg, Director of Network Innovation at CCS Insight, joined Christina Cardoza, Editorial Director of the insight.tech Talk podcast, to discuss the need for standardized technologies and open digital architectures to optimize investments for a smarter, future-ready grid. We spoke to industry thought-leaders from Advantech, Capgemini and Schneider Electric to explore the urgency for grid modernization and the importance of partnerships among operators, manufacturers and service providers.

The discussion touches on:

• The current state of grid modernization efforts
• Demand pressures and technology limitations with the grid of the future
• Renewable energy challenges and considerations
• Bringing edge AI into the energy space
• Customer examples and partnerships with the likes of Intel and the E4S Alliance.
