<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span lang="EN-GB">Utilities industry is a category of stocks for utilities which is broken down into 4 main areas, namely: plants, transmission and distribution, energy trading and risk management, and cybersecurity. Those sectors are traditionally working in silos and generating big isolated data at exponentially growing rates. However, future utilities management imposes homogenizing all data to become integrated into a unified system for a timely informed decision. The Internet-of-Energy (IoE) adopts the Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to optimise the efficiency of the distributed utilities’ infrastructure for the purpose of reducing data and power wastage. Besides, the on-trend IoE works at unlocking the siloed big data by exploiting Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools and data analysis algorithms of Machine Learning (ML). Thereof, the IoE promotes obtaining conversant results for both utilities and consumers when required. This notwithstanding, there are still many overlooked issues and challenges that hinder the full realization and benefits of AI for IoE in terms of big data analysis, mining, processing, and prediction. The<i> </i>aim of this special issue is to bring together researchers from academia, industry, and individuals, who work on selected areas of AI, ML and DL with big data and IoE, to share their latest ideas and research findings within the research and industry communities. <i></i></span></p>
