Energy & Utilities
Utilities (gas, water, and electricity) are essential services that play an important role in social and economic development
The utility industries are companies that develop and support the infrastructure required to provide gas, electricity, and water or to manage wastewater and sewage; they additionally provide other associated services that utilize that infrastructure. Companies across the energy value chain aren’t any more immune from disruptions than the video rental business before Netflix or taxis were before Uber. There’s no escape. No matter what energy sector you’re in, from production to generation, transmission to storage, distribution or consumption, turbulence is looming. Those focused on agility and innovation are in the best position to outperform.
The power and energy landscape is undergoing a major transformation, presenting many challenges in terms of changing regulations and policies, making electrical energy reliable, efficient, and green, a mobile, IoT, digital transformation, aging workforce, and a dynamic market. The focus today is on innovation to achieve efficiency and service continuity, to achieve affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy consumption and power distribution.
