New York Use-Case Mission

Dense city grids carry heavy loads through ageing underground networks, heat waves and winter storms. This summit gathers utility and power-generation leaders to work out which AI use cases make the biggest difference to reliability and cost, using the meter, sensor and maintenance data they already collect.

Each summit is capped at 40 participants: operations, engineering, plant and digital leaders from manufacturing, oil & gas and energy companies, alongside STAGE-X engineers. No sales decks. Real use cases, the data behind them, and working prototypes from STAGE-X Residency teams.

FEATURED USE CASES

Use-Case Sessions

November 7–8, 2026 • Full-Day Program

  1. Use Case 01 DEMAND FORECASTING

    Neighbourhood-Level Load Forecasting

    Predicting demand street by street from smart-meter, weather and event data, so operators can plan capacity before peaks hit.

  2. Use Case 02 PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE

    Transformer & Cable Failure Prediction

    Ranking equipment by failure risk from inspection records, load history and sensor readings, so crews go where they matter most.

  3. Use Case 03 OUTAGE RESPONSE

    Faster Fault Location & Crew Dispatch

    Combining outage calls, meter signals and network maps to pinpoint faults and route crews faster.

STAGE-X RESIDENCY · NEW YORK Student and builder teams prototype these use cases in the 1–2 weeks before the summit, then demo them here. See the Residency
