⚡How can AI help reshape financing in the energy landscape? In a panel titled “Powering the Future: AI Integration for Smarter Grids and Sustainable Power Systems” at #SIEW2025, Xueyong Chin, Senior Vice President, Project Finance at DBS, shared that AI-enabled operations in renewable energy act as a credit enhancer in reducing project risk and enhancing predictability. Here’s how: 1️⃣ Data transparency is critical to scaling AI in financing. AI allows financing models to shift from reactive to predictive, enabling the recalibration and validation of performance targets based on measurable outcomes such as emissions reduction and grid reliability. 2️⃣ AI enhances predictability and bankability. AI-assisted forecasting gives developers and lenders greater certainty when forecasting revenues, performance and assessing project’s viability. 3️⃣ Public-private partnerships will power the next phase of adoption. Strong partnerships between governments and developers, clear regulations and policies for emerging risks, data standards and access rights in AI-driven, integrated infrastructure, are key to building bankable projects. 👉 Connect with us to learn how we can #PowerNewPossibilities and build a sustainable energy future: go.dbs.com/projectfinance #TransitionBankForAsia #AddOurStrengthToYours #PoweringNewPossibilities #DBS #SIEW2025 #EnergyTransition #CleanEnergy #Innovation #AsiaEnergyFuture #ai

The next wave of industrialisation will be powered by hydrogen. But more needs to be done to finance this transition. Speaking at a panel discussion titled “Financing and Partnerships for a Resilient Energy System” at the Singapore International Energy Week (SIEW), Dorian Delteil, MBA, Executive Director, Project Finance at DBS, highlighted the need for collective action to finance the clean energy transition. Key Takeaways: 🌎 Net Zero by 2050 requires about USD 7–9 trillion annual investments in the energy sector, underscoring the scale and urgency of coordinated financing — a goal that cannot be achieved by any one player alone. 🍃 Emerging technologies such as hydrogen, CCUS, and bioenergy are complex and require robust feasibility studies, technical validation, and commercial readiness. 📈 Project development takes time and requires patient, long-term investment supported by strong regulatory and financial structures. ⚡ True progress will require deep collaboration between governments, industry leaders, and financial institutions. With stronger policy alignment and increased private capital, a resilient and sustainable energy future is within reach. 👉 Connect with us to learn how we can #PowerNewPossibilities and build a sustainable energy future: go.dbs.com/projectfinance #TransitionBankForAsia #AddOurStrengthToYours #PoweringNewPossibilities #DBS #SIEW2025 #EnergyTransition #CleanEnergy #Innovation #CCS #CCUS #Biomethane #BioLNG #Hydrogen #AsiaEnergyFuture
