Middle East Energy 2026 has highlighted a major transformation in the region’s power sector, with Rystad Energy forecasting MENA electricity demand will more than double and installed capacity quadruple by 2050, ahead of the event’s 50th edition in Dubai.
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are reshaping predictive maintenance across the power industry, enabling utilities to detect asset deterioration, identify potential failures and improve maintenance decisions. As digitalisation expands across generation, transmission and distribution networks, these technologies are strengthening safety, efficiency and grid resilience, according to GlobalData.
