Energy
Out of the pilot,
into the grid.
Municipal utilities, grid operators, generators and energy service providers. Critical infrastructure, more requests than people, and pilots that never went live.
01 · Topics
What keeps
you busy.
The topics that come up first when AI meets this industry. If one sounds familiar, that is where we start.
- 01Pilots that never go live
Many energy companies have tried AI. Far fewer run it in production, with operations and security on board.
- 02Requests pile up
Grid connections for heat pumps, wallboxes and solar. Each one is paperwork, and the team is not growing.
- 03Critical means careful
As critical infrastructure, every new system needs security, documentation and an owner.
02 · Examples
Where AI
earns its keep.
Input, action, result. The places we would look first, because the work is repetitive, the data exists and a person still signs off.
- 01Grid connection requests
Application with documents → completeness checked, data extracted, missing items requested → the engineer decides.
- 02Load and generation forecasts
Weather, history and metering data → forecasts per grid area → better planning and procurement.
- 03Customer service and billing
Questions about bills, tariffs and moves → answered from billing data → complex cases go to a person with context.
- 04Asset maintenance
Inspection images and sensor data → condition per asset → maintenance planned by risk.

03 · The rules
What applies,
and since when.
The rules we plan around in this industry. With the source, so your legal team can check our reading.
- 01Safety components in utilities are high-risk
AI used as a safety component in the supply of water, gas, heating or electricity is high-risk.
Annex III 2 AI Actfrom 2 December 2027 - 02NIS2 covers energy and water
Electricity, gas, district heating, hydrogen, water and wastewater companies above the size thresholds must register, manage cyber risk and report incidents.
NIS2UmsuCG, BSIGsince 6 December 2025 - 03IT security catalogue for grid operators
Operators of energy supply networks and facilities follow the IT security catalogue of the Federal Network Agency, including an information security management system.
§ 11 (1a), (1b) EnWGin force - 04AI literacy for staff
Anyone who operates or uses AI systems on your behalf needs sufficient AI literacy.

Where to
start.
Build, Secure, Comply, Enable: the four services we would start energy projects with.
05 · Next steps
What happens
after you send it.
Four steps between your request and a decision. No step commits you to anything.
- 01 You send the requestThree questions about your situation, then your contact details. It takes a few minutes.

Questions
from this industry.
Short answers. Anything else goes into your request.
Can we use cloud AI as a critical infrastructure operator?
Often yes, with the right contracts, data classification and security measures. Some systems have to stay on-premises. We decide per use case.
Why did our pilots not go live?
Rarely because of the model. Missing owners, missing integration and open security questions stop more pilots. We start there.
Is automating grid connection requests high-risk?
Normally not, because it is not a safety component. We check each use case against Annex III.
