AI and energy price forecasting: myth or reality? – Sirenergies Business Session - Gazelec 2025

Can AI predict energy prices: myth or reality?

At the 2025 Gazelec Congress, Emmanuel Sire and Raphaël Barbate, co-founders of Sirenergies, provide a candid analysis of the actual use of artificial intelligence in energy markets.
In this talk, they deconstruct the sometimes overblown promises of "generative" AI and highlight an essential reality: it is not the tools that make the decisions, but how you use them.
Using concrete examples from the electricity and gas markets, they demonstrate how Sirenergies digitizes professional expertise to help buyers better understand, anticipate, and manage their purchasing strategies.
