Schneider Electric modernizes utility grids with AI-powered digital platform
Use case typeEnergy optimizationUpdated Jun 13, 2026
Schneider Electric, a leader in digital transformation for energy management and automation, launched the One Digital Grid Platform to address mounting challenges in the utilities sector. Built on Microsoft Azure, the platform employs AI for real-time insights, predictive analytics, and automation while ensuring the cybersecurity of grid operations. The system is designed to modernize infrastructures to handle higher electricity demand, to better integrate distributed energy resources (DERs) like EV charging or rooftop solar, and to ensure resilience against extreme weather events. The One Digital Grid Platform offers an interoperable solution that integrates mission-critical software into a secure and scalable ecosystem. Utilities benefit from real-time data insights, faster DER integration, automation of operational processes, and robust cybersecurity. The platform's architecture allows for plug-and-play integration with software from partners such as Esri and Uplight, enabling broader functionality such as asset management, grid flexibility, and enhanced customer engagement. Schneider Electric has partnered with Microsoft to leverage Azure’s hybrid cloud foundation, combining over 30 years of grid expertise with innovative digital technology. In addition, the investment in supporting energy and AI sectors within the US reflects a commitment to supporting regional growth.
