Second Energy & Green AI Workshop
The 2nd Energy & Green AI Workshop, hosted in Porto (Portugal), focuses on the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and energy systems. The event brings together experts, researchers, and industry representatives to discuss how intelligent, data-driven solutions can support the digital and green transition of the energy sector.
Following the success of the first edition, held in March 2025 in Slovenia, this workshop continues the discussion on how AI can drive innovation in energy efficiency, sustainability, and system optimisation.
The main themes to be explored include AI for asset management, power grid optimisation, dynamic pricing and incentives for electric vehicle charging, renewable energy forecasting, and energy efficiency in buildings and industrial systems. The second day will focus on the Green AI pillar, addressing the environmental impact of AI models, the energy consumption of large-scale systems, and AI-driven methods for sustainable energy management.
This two-day event aims to showcase innovative research, real-world applications, and future challenges in making AI technologies more efficient, transparent, and sustainable. The workshop is expected to spark inspiring discussions, foster new collaborations, and provide forward-looking insights into how AI can power a greener, smarter future.
