Building tomorrow's utilities enterprise
In an enterprise that’s plugged into delivering future value, multiplying megawatts, calculating cubic feet, or gauging gallons are just the bare-bones essentials. What matters most is – understanding consumer usage, creating flexibility, and shaping sustainability, by harnessing intelligent systems powered by information technology.
With the shift towards a smart grid industry, enterprises must balance must-haves and must-dos in serving customers. While comprehensive network security, seamless systems integration, renewable assets, and an active consumer commitment will define the future; immediate imperatives are addressing regulatory needs, shrinking budgets and technological shifts.
Challenges and opportunities
Consumer experience: The industry landscape is changing, especially with regards to how consumers utilize electricity. Creating a lasting connection with consumers and enabling them with digital technology are critical success factors in balancing energy supply and demand.
Pervasive technology: The strength and security of the utility network is under constant scrutiny, with the influx of consumer technologies like plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Seamless incorporation of new technologies as well as renewable energy sources hold great potential to maximize value.
Reliability: With growing demand and access to renewable resources, the utility focus shifts to accommodating fluctuating energy production while retiring aging assets. The IP-enabled digital grid remains vulnerable to malicious activities. Continuous monitoring is crucial to realizing the promise of keeping utilities safe, smart and affordable.
