Ducon Infratechnologies Ltd (NS: DUCON) is expanding its footprint in the clean energy and digital transformation space. As part of this growth, the company introduces IQ Energy AI — a next-generation AI-powered platform designed for utilities and industries to optimize their power plant operations.
IQ Energy AI is an AI-powered operating system, that uses machine learning algorithms and cognitive functions such as perception, prediction, thinking and optimization to transform unstructured big plant data into structured, optimized and forecasted insights for utlities and industrial plant's management.
Global data center electricity demand is soaring, straining grids worldwide. According to The International Energy Agency (IEA) the global data center electricity consumption will reach around 945 TWh (terawatt hours) by 2030, which is more than double the 415 TWh used in 2024, placing enormous pressure on already strained energy grids worldwide. The construction of new power plants and transmission lines takes far longer than the construction of new data centers. Additionally, traditional power generation assets, many of which operate on decades-old infrastructure, are being pushed to deliver higher output with fewer unplanned outages—all while managing stricter emissions requirements and integrating renewable energy sources. These power plants also aren't able to properly optimize their loads to meet these demands. Hence there is greater need now for utilities and industries to optimize their energy output, and maintain higher on-line availability.
IQ Energy AI helps plants improve efficiency, reliability and emissions performance. By combining predictive maintenance, efficiency optimization, advanced load forecasting, and renewable integration, IQ Energy AI empowers businesses to cut costs, reduce downtime, and accelerate their transition to cleaner energy. IQ Energy AI focuses on security, explainability, and operator trust.
