The Rise of a Digital Energy World
Young ventures recommend a customised use of AI and ML to align utility providers and their operations
Global Trends
The immediate impact of the pandemic in the utility service industry manifested in the forms of capital project delays, scrapping of planned activities, reduced IT spends and more rigidity in rate case approvals. In addition, regulatory bodies and governments imposed guidelines such as no penal action for non-payment of dues and lowered slab rates to support end consumers.
When COVID-19 forced their back-office teams to work from home and field workers to socially distance, utility companies quickly embraced new tech-driven solutions. Like many other industries, they made more progress towards digitalisation than they had in the past decade.
Digital Solutions for
Utilities
As the industry recovers from the pandemic, it must continue to leverage digital tools to facilitate internal collaboration, improve accessibility to business assets, identify operational issues, optimise customer experience and generate more revenue.
Merging the physical world with the digital world will play a critical role in making the utility industry more productive and resilient. It can also help automate inspections, save costs and build a safer working environment for employees.
When digital technology specialists work closely with utilities to understand and address their real-world issues, it becomes simpler for the industry to transform itself into a competitive, innovative and future-proof sector of the national economy.
