The role of technological innovations and artificial intelligence in improving the energy efficiency of companies

The article examines the role of technological innovations in improving companies' energy efficiency. It studies the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in optimizing energy consumption through real-time monitoring and predictive analytics. Innovations such as smart grids, Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, and energy storage systems are discussed. They enable companies to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations General Assembly: "Affordable and clean energy" (Goal 7), "Industry, innovation, and infrastructure" (Goal 9), "Responsible consumption and production" (Goal 12), and "Climate action" (Goal 13). The use of AI-based automation and the integration of renewable energy sources are highlighted as key strategies for reducing operational costs and environmental impact.
