2:25 PM Case Study: Building vs Buying AI: Creating Internal Capability Without Creating Technical Debt

With approximately 49.5 GW of generation capacity, including almost 22 GW of renewables, RWE operates across a large and diverse asset portfolio where digital solutions need to be scalable, maintainable and capable of supporting very different operational needs. As AI-powered development tools make it increasingly possible for engineers and domain experts to build applications themselves, organizations face a new question: what should we build internally, and what should we buy?

This session explores how organizations can accelerate innovation through AI-assisted development while making disciplined build-versus-buy decisions and ensuring internally developed solutions do not create tomorrow's technical debt.

• Using AI-assisted development to rapidly build operational tools and applications
• Turning engineers and domain experts into application builders through low-code, no-code and AI-enabled development
• Developing practical build-versus-buy frameworks for AI initiatives
• Establishing ownership, governance and maintenance models to avoid technical debt and support long-term scalability
