Energy Journal New Issue: The Equation of Power

The new issue of Energy Journal explores how the interplay between energy and geopolitics is entering a new phase — one driven by digital innovation, artificial intelligence, and the race for technological leadership.

AI, automation, and electrification are not just transforming the way we produce and use energy. They are redrawing global influence, reshaping alliances, and redefining competitiveness. At the same time, political strategies and energy security concerns are guiding where and how innovation takes shape. The result is a circular relationship: technology fuels power, and power directs technology.

Energy Journal 32 takes readers inside this evolving feedback loop. It examines how AI’s soaring electricity demand is accelerating the shift toward smarter, more resilient grids; how the pursuit of green and digital technologies is reshaping global value chains; and how power today flows increasingly through data centers, HVDC cables, and critical minerals.

Through essays and expert analysis, this issue offers a lens to understand how technological and geopolitical forces are converging — and how this convergence will define the energy systems of tomorrow.

The full issue is available online and as a downloadable PDF.
