Ducon Launches AI Platform to Boost Global Power Efficiency

31 Oct 2025 CW Team

The launch comes as the global energy sector faces unprecedented demand, driven by the rapid growth of AI-powered data centres. Ducon’s IQ Energy AI platform addresses this challenge by providing digital tools that enhance plant reliability, efficiency, and sustainability.

Using predictive maintenance, probabilistic load forecasting, renewable energy integration, and efficiency optimisation, the platform enables operators to anticipate equipment failures, minimise downtime, and maximise generation in real time.

Aron Govil, Chairman of Ducon Infratechnologies Ltd, said, “Power demand from AI-driven data centres is growing at an explosive pace, creating both a challenge and an opportunity for power producers. IQ Energy AI helps utilities meet this rising demand efficiently, lower costs, and advance the shift towards cleaner energy. This is a transformative moment for the industry.”

Ducon estimates that applying AI in energy optimisation could generate several billion dollars in revenue globally over the next decade, as utilities and industrial players adopt digital platforms to manage soaring demand.

For customers, the economic benefits are substantial — potential reductions of up to 30 per cent in unplanned downtime, 10–15 per cent improvements in fuel efficiency, and at least 15–20 per cent lower forecast error rates. These enhancements could collectively save utilities and industries over USD 100 billion worldwide in the next ten years through lower maintenance costs, reduced fuel usage, longer equipment lifespans, and avoidance of emission penalties.

Designed with flexibility in mind, IQ Energy AI supports cloud, hybrid, and on-premises deployment, offering open APIs for seamless integration with existing CMMS, SCADA, and DCS systems.

Beyond utilities, the platform targets energy-intensive sectors such as chemicals, steel, and cement, where energy costs and operational reliability are critical. Ducon expects strong adoption as industries seek cost-effective ways to improve efficiency and achieve sustainability goals.

“With IQ Energy AI, Ducon is not merely offering software; we are providing a roadmap for utilities and industries to thrive in an energy era defined by AI, data, and sustainability,” Govil added.

The launch of IQ Energy AI reinforces Ducon’s long-term commitment to innovation, digital transformation, and supporting the global transition towards a cleaner, more efficient energy future.
