Energy Transitions podcast: Ensuring the energy transition is a smart transition

As utilities digitalise, smart technologies are being deployed to drive energy and operational efficiency, as well as aid decarbonisation.

However, while these digital tools can prove invaluable, they can also make utilities more vulnerable, especially as the grid is increasingly decentralised and cyber attacks become more commonplace.

In this episode of the Energy Transitions podcast, Pamela Largue speaks with Sozon Kokkinaras, VP of Sales for Eastern Europe at Trilliant, to learn more about the kinds of digital tools being deployed in the smart energy transition, the contexts in which they work and why AI can prove beneficial to utilities' bottom lines.

In this episode you will learn more about:

• What a smart energy transition means in terms of infrastructure deployment;
• How to manage becoming smarter and simultaneously more vulnerable;
• The increasingly important role of cybersecurity for a smart, more decentralised grid;
• How to manage the vast amount of data generated from smart devices;
• Whether AI is making the energy sector smarter or merely producing more data;
• How AI can aid the (smart) energy transition in terms of revenue protection and directing investments;
• Case studies demonstrating the positive impact of smart technology.

This episode is brought to you in partnership with Trilliant.
