      abstract = {The transition to renewable energy and decentralized grid operations demands intelligent, real-time decision-making capabilities. This paper investigates the role of AI agents powered by LLMs and domain specific retrieval systems in optimizing smart grid operations, including load balancing, demand forecasting, outage diagnostics, and renewable integration. We propose a hybrid agent framework that combines historical grid telemetry with real-time energy data to generate explainable recommendations for grid operators. Particular attention is given to safety, reliability, and adversarial robustness, as energy infrastructure represents a critical national asset. Through simulations and prototype deployments in utility environments, we show that AI agents can reduce operational latency, enhance grid resilience, and support compliance with evolving regulatory standards. This work contributes to the responsible digitization of the energy sector and demonstrates AI?s potential in advancing sustainability goals.},
