LONDON, GREATER LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, February 19, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- "The artificial intelligence (AI)-powered smart grid market is witnessing rapid advancements as utility providers and governments seek smarter, more efficient energy networks. With evolving infrastructure needs and the increasing integration of renewable sources, this market is positioned for substantial growth in the coming years. Let’s explore the current market size, driving forces, regional insights, and emerging trends shaping this sector.

Projected Growth and Market Size of the AI-Powered Smart Grid Market
The AI-powered smart grid market has experienced significant expansion recently and is expected to continue this trajectory. Market value is anticipated to rise from $6.62 billion in 2025 to $7.54 billion in 2026, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.9%. This growth during the historical period is largely due to the need to modernize aging grid infrastructure, escalating electricity demand, initial smart meter rollouts, government-backed smart grid pilot projects, and an increase in power outages.

Renewable Energy Adoption Driving AI Smart Grid Expansion
One of the primary factors fueling the growth of the AI-powered smart grid market is the increasing use of renewable energy sources. These natural resources—such as solar, wind, hydro, and biomass—are replenishable and vital to reducing environmental impact. The shift toward renewable energy is propelled by global concerns over climate change and pollution, motivating countries and organizations to cut greenhouse gas emissions and move toward sustainable, low-carbon energy systems. AI-powered smart grids play a crucial role in this transition by accurately forecasting renewable energy generation, optimizing energy distribution, and balancing supply and demand dynamically.

Supporting this trend, Eurostat reported in December 2024 that renewable energy accounted for 24.5% of the European Union’s total energy consumption in 2023, up from 23.0% in the previous year. This steady increase demonstrates the growing adoption of renewables, which in turn drives demand for intelligent grid solutions.

Regional Market Leadership and Growth Opportunities
In 2025, North America held the largest share of the AI-powered smart grid market, benefiting from advanced infrastructure and robust technology adoption. Meanwhile, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to experience the fastest growth rate during the forecast period, driven by rapid industrialization, increasing energy demand, and government initiatives promoting smart grid technologies. The market report covers key regions including Asia-Pacific, South East Asia, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, the Middle East, and Africa, providing a comprehensive global perspective on market trends.
