Schneider Electric, a global energy technology leader, and Bloomberg New Economy announced today the launch of the Energy Technology Coalition (‘Coalition’). This new private sector initiative brings together global decision makers and experts across industries to accelerate the adoption of technologies that make energy consumption more efficient, resilient, and responsive amid soaring global electricity demand. The Coalition, co-chaired by Schneider Electric and Bloomberg New Economy, was unveiled during Schneider Electric’s Innovation Summit North America in Las Vegas, attended by 2,500+ industry leaders, and at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum in Singapore.
At a time when many energy investments are focused on increasing electricity supply to meet the rising demands of AI data centers and growing populations, the Coalition focuses on how energy can be used more efficiently. It will explore how AI, among other emerging technologies, can provide solutions that both optimize energy use and improve responsiveness of the power grid, enabling the integration of more energy sources, including clean power.
The Energy Technology Coalition will convene leaders from across energy, technology, and infrastructure sectors to identify where and why the deployment of demand-side technologies — such as AI-enabled grid management, digital twins, and industrial automation systems — has been slow, and what levers can unlock faster adoption. The Coalition aims to publish data-backed solutions and frameworks to alleviate friction points in the transition to smarter, cleaner energy use.
“Building a resilient and affordable energy future requires strong collaboration across the technology and energy sectors,” said Frédéric Godemel, Executive Vice President, Energy Management, Schneider Electric. “By working together and leveraging innovations like AI and digital twins, we can strengthen the grid, improve reliability, and make energy more accessible and cost-effective for everyone. Schneider Electric is committed to partnering with industry leaders to deliver solutions that support economic growth and ensure our energy infrastructure can meet the demands of tomorrow, which is why we’re excited to play a part in this new coalition.”
