69. How Europe Is Preparing AI for Real‑World Grid Operations
Episode 79
Thursday, 9 April, 2026
Europe is accelerating the use of artificial intelligence across the energy sector – but how can utilities adopt AI safely, securely, and at scale? In this episode of EPRI Current, host Samantha Gilman continues the AI-EFFECT series with a discussion exploring three of the European Union’s Testing and Experimentation Facilities (TEF) projects: AI-EFFECT, EnergyGuard, and EnerTEF. Guests Adrian Kelly from EPRI Europe, Sotiris Pelekis from the Institute of Communications and Computer Systems (ICCS), and Elissaios Sarmas from the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) discuss how these cross-country facilities help utilities validate, de‑risk, and operationalize AI through shared infrastructure, standardized testing, and regulatory alignment. The conversation highlights real-world utility use cases, cross-sector collaboration, and how Europe’s TEF model could inform global efforts to enable trustworthy AI in the power sector.
