11 Key Solutions: Optimize the Energy System Launch coordinated energy mapping to balance supply and demand and reduce capital intensity. Use AI to optimize grid design, integrating centralized and distributed systems. Advance battery siting and optimization models and produce energy- infrastructure maturity assessments to guide investment and accelerate next-generation clean-tech deployment. Maximize the Value of Data Center Siting Define new siting archetypes beyond the US and China, aligned with energy availability and community benefits. Develop data partnerships to address data- sovereignty barriers and promote shared infrastructure standards for efficiency and carbon accounting. Embed community integration and demand-side management tools and establish regional tech-maturity and talent scores to attract investment. Different policy models are shaping how energy and AI integration progresses across major economies. The United States is leveraging private capital and market- driven innovation, while China is advancing through large-scale planning and renewable co-location mandates. Europe continues to refine a coordinated approach focused on decarbonisation, digitalisation, and competitiveness. Despite these differences, one priority is universal - the need for smarter, faster permitting, and clear regulatory frameworks to unlock investment at scale. Smart policies that support investment and AI regulatory ecosystems are essential to enable progress, not obstruct growth, and to build AI-enabled workforces capable of grasping the economic opportunity ahead. As several participants observed, energy policy is now industrial policy: it must remain pragmatic and guided by insight, because regulation without realism risks slowing growth, weakening competitiveness, and choking capital. Improve Access and Use of Capital Redesign financial models to align with system-wide efficiency, not individual assets - minimizing the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) across networks. Scale catalytic equity, enterprise-backed credit, and low- cost, infrastructure-light solutions that widen access to energy intelligence. Expand digital finance inclusion through online banking and simplified credit access to drive participation and productivity. Ultimately the cost of Intelligence will converge with the cost of energy. The Majlis consensus: energy abundance is the precondition for AI abundance; align policy, capital and talent now to deliver both at scale and pace, seizing this next economic wave of growth brought by the Intelligence Age. and satellite broadband as practical leapfrogs, while warning that grid reconductoring and interconnects are essential to avoid curtailment and stranded renewables. We need massive investment and the capital is there but the barrier is policy and permitting. Fix that, and the capital will flow. Unattributed quote 6. Policy and Talent are key to developing an ecosystem attractive to investment and growth
