    In Conversation with Robin Mills: The (Artificial) Intelligence Behind Energy

    AI is moving beyond the digital world and into the physical industries that power the global economy. In this episode, Robin Mills welcomes Saravan Penubarthi Chief Technology Officer at AIQ, to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming the energy sector, from improving efficiency and production to enhancing safety, sustainability and decision-making.  They discuss the growing relationship between AI and energy, and why the future will depend on both “energy for AI” and “AI for energy”. Sarvan explains how AIQ is applying different forms of AI across the energy value chain, combining advanced analytics with physics-based models and industry expertise to turn vast amounts of data into actionable insights. The conversation also explores what it means for energy companies to become truly AI-native, including the need to rethink business processes, manage organisational change and upskill employees. They examine the balance between assisted and autonomous AI, the importance of keeping humans in the loop for critical decisions, and how AI can shift employees away from routine analysis towards higher-value strategic decision-making.  As AI itself drives growing demand for electricity, they consider the technology’s energy and emissions footprint, and how cleaner power, more efficient hardware and smarter AI architectures could help address this challenge. Looking towards 2035, they discuss how AI could become an integral part of the energy workforce, business processes and decision-making, and why the energy companies that successfully embed AI may be best positioned for the next phase of transformation.

    In Conversation with Robin Mills: The Economics of Renewables

    Electricity demand is entering a new era, driven by electrification, AI, population growth and the rapid expansion of new technologies. In this episode, Robin Mills speaks with Mazin Khan, CFO of Masdar, about how the global energy landscape is changing and what this means for the future of renewable energy from an economic and business perspective. They explore why solar, wind and battery storage are becoming increasingly competitive, how falling costs and improving technology are enabling renewables to meet demand around the clock, and the role of energy security and price certainty in accelerating the transition. Mazin also discusses Masdar’s global growth and its ambition to reach 100 GW of renewable capacity by 2030.  The conversation examines what is unlocking renewable investment in emerging markets, including the importance of regulation, long-term offtake agreements and project bankability, as well as how scale, supply chains and financing are shaping competition in mature markets. They also look ahead to the next decade of battery innovation and why rising electricity demand, technological progress and falling costs could create significant new opportunities for renewable energy.  Ahead of the World Future Energy Summit, the episode offers a timely look at the forces reshaping global power markets and the scale of investment and innovation needed to meet the world's growing demand for electricity.

    Digitalisation: Inside the New Era of Grid Planning

    As power grids grow more complex, operators need tools that can simulate faster, plan with greater precision, and anticipate stress before it hits. Digital twins are emerging as one of the most powerful ways to model system behaviour in real time and test future scenarios. In this episode, we explore where digital twins can make the biggest immediate impact on grid planning and operations, how far digitalisation can realistically take us without deeper infrastructure upgrades, and whether data quality, system integration, or legacy assets remain the toughest barrier to scaling their use.  Speakers: Lubo Minchev, CEO, Telelink InfraRobert Jones, Partner, B2BConnect (Moderator) Powered by World Future Energy Summit, the Future Energy Insights show seeks to address the biggest challenges shaping the future of energy today, both in the Middle East and around the world.
