Schneider Electric Puts Energy Resilience at the Center of Climate Week NYC 2025

Schneider Electric outlined its strategies for Climate Week NYC 2025, emphasizing the significance of reliable energy access and smart water management amid increasing demands influenced by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and electrification. The company's initiatives target improvements in energy efficiency and operational resilience for industries and municipalities.

During the event, Schneider Electric presented new research that reframes energy poverty, identifying it as a multifaceted challenge involving access, affordability, and reliability.

This underscores the critical role water management plays in sustaining urban planning and business operations.

The company also introduced LC-Analytics through a partnership with Makersite, aiming to optimize product sustainability using lifecycle intelligence that aids in reducing environmental impacts. Schneider Electric plans to engage in various Climate Week NYC events, offering insights on supply chain emissions, automation in water management, and strategies to promote decarbonization across sectors.
