Why 80% of Power Generation Runs at the Edge

Close to 80% of power generation deployments in ABB’s global electrification and power install base run on-premise at the edge. That figure, shared by Cody Falcon of ABB Energy Industries during IIoT World Energy Day 2026, is not an aspiration. It is the current state of how power gets managed. The reasons are practical: battery […]

Deploying AI at the Energy Edge Is the Easy Part. Governing It Is the Hard Part.

The energy sector has made real progress in deploying AI closer to operations. Battery storage operators are running predictive models at the site level. Renewable fleet managers are using AI to accelerate troubleshooting and optimize asset performance. Grid-connected systems are beginning to rely on edge-based inference to make decisions that must occur in under a […]
