Schneider Electric: The Future of Energy Technology

Schneider Electric has set a path for the future of energy, using technology and AI to create value for its customers.

Its new strategy, unveiled by its CEO Olivier Blum, focuses on enhancing the company’s impact through technology leadership and data fuelled by AI.

As AI and energy have an increasing potential to impact lives and business operations, Schneider Electric is providing technology solutions to work towards a smarter energy future.

Energy technology: Capital Market Day

Schneider Electric has held its Capital Market Day 2025, focusing on Advancing Energy Tech.

At the event, the company shared its strategic roadmap for tackling the future of energy.

The aim of its operations will be to electrify usage and accelerate the transition through automation, digitisation and AI.

Schneider Electric’s CEO Olivier Blum gave a keynote on Advancing Energy Tech, outlining the company’s unique position to push energy technology to the next level and increase shareholder value.

Olivier says: “We are the Energy Technology Partner for our customers across industries, businesses and homes, driving efficiency and sustainability for all.

“We are taking Schneider to the next level of energy and industrial intelligence, the next level of recognition and the next level of cost competitiveness and scalability to capture the opportunities in electrification, automation and digitalisation now and in the future.

“I am confident this differentiated vision is set to drive strong financial results and enhanced shareholder value over the next five years.”

The future of the energy landscape

Schneider Electric positions itself as an energy technology partner, helping to electrify, digitalise and automate industries and businesses.

This includes bringing efficiency and sustainability into buildings, data centres and infrastructure.

It plans to help businesses with software and services that empower collaboration and actionable insight to grow value, as well as providing computing that can simulate and automate systems for flexible, efficient and resilient performance.

Schneider Electric’s pathway involves a data cube which provides the data ecosystem, delivering its Energy and Industrial Intelligence strategy.

Systems can be pre-trained on Schneider Electric’s vast installed base of assets and access to energy and process data and enriched with its expertise to organise, interpret and contextualise data.

They are post-trained with Schneider Electric’s specialisation in complete portfolio across domains and across the lifecycle, adapting and optimising data at scale in its edge and cloud applications for continuous improvement.

This is Schneider Electric’s first foundational model, using the data cube to deliver physical intelligence combining the digital twin with the asset and domain experience, solving real world customer challenges.

It is enhanced by agentic workflows on top of the intelligence layer in the model.

Using AI for growth

In his keynote, Olivier Blum also outlined how Schneider Electric can bring operational excellence to its customers and clients.

This involves bringing cost competitiveness through supplier collaboration, encouraging clients to form partnerships for co-innovation and procurement negotiations.

It also helps its customers operate at scale with AI, using AI agents and co-pilots, as well as using AI to help simplify business processes.

The company’s systems can help with performance management and ensuring safety, quality and compliance.

Schneider Electric’s strategic path includes its plans to accelerate the growth of revenue from its digital, software and service offerings, helping to deliver energy solutions to its customers.

Olivier said on LinkedIn: “This is a very important moment for Schneider Electric and our entire ecosystem of customers and partners.

“I am extremely excited by what we can bring to the world at a critical time where AI and energy will transform our lives and businesses.

“Together we are Advancing Energy Tech to deliver a smarter, more resilient future.”
