Can AI help improve India’s power distribution utilities? An original survey of utilities in Tamil Nadu and Odisha finds that strong digital infrastructure, interoperable data, and in-house capacity will determine whether AI can deliver results at scale, write @CSISIndiaChair and @CSISEnergy experts.
