As a utility, there is pressure to accommodate new demand, integrate renewables, and help decarbonize national and global economies. In addition, aging infrastructure and increasingly volatile weather threaten the safety and reliability of services.
At the same time, the upswell of urgency in the industry has generated a wave of new technologies, business models and cultural changes that you must navigate, including cybersecurity and rising expectations for consumer engagement.
No single strategy will address all these challenges, which demand new, agile technologies that deliver greater visibility and management at the grid edge, where so many challenges arise.
