Decarbonizing, decentralizing and digitizing the traditional grid model
Distribution system operators face multiple challenges in transitioning to a new energy system, such as:
- Dealing with reduced appetite for large-scale investments due to pressure from customers and regulators for greater interaction and responsiveness from energy providers
- Supervising utilities that are focusing on core services and strategically outsourcing managed services
- Overseeing flexibility, interoperability and scalability of information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) offerings that are now becoming critical
- Addressing the ‘Waterfall’ approach, which is costly and prone to delay agile change delivery
- Identifying utilities that are shifting delivery risk onto product/service providers
The new energy world creates an urgency for utilities to build an enhanced set of digital capabilities that will support maintaining its role as the connector of energy supply and demand.
