Utilities

Global utilities are transforming mindsets and business models in the race to deliver net zero

The challenges facing the world’s utilities businesses are uniquely complex. But with electricity generation producing 40% of global CO2 emissions and water management another 10%, these organizations, alongside wind, solar and a resurgent nuclear sector, are playing a vital role in shaping a cleaner, more sustainable and resilient future for our planet.
They’re embracing digital thinking and collaborative innovation with skill and ingenuity, deploying game-changing technologies and the power of integrated data analytics and insights.  Modern, flexible, integrated infrastructure, networks and workforces are rapidly emerging.

Moving to a new energy world – the size of the challenge

By 2050:

75%
supply of all electricity from wind and solar sources
250
new nuclear power stations
125
million kms of transmission and distribution lines to grids

ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ supports organizations across today’s energy and utility landscape. We help them:

  • Develop comprehensive and holistic approaches to business transformation
  • Build strong technological foundations at scale
  • Adopt end-to-end digital mindsets
  • Maximize the power and impact of automation, AI and machine learning.

The results are breakthrough improvements against diverse KPIs, from enhanced customer engagement and satisfaction to productivity and bottom-line profitability, and, crucially, enduring reductions in carbon footprint.

What we do

Globally, we support a number of segments across the energy and utilities industry:

Customer

The digital revolution and the rapidly evolving aspirations of technology-empowered customers presents a unique opportunity for dynamic energy providers to reimagine their business models and take their place at the forefront of an intelligent and agile industry.

A growing number of countries’ energy transition strategies now include substantial roles for nuclear power. In fact, the International Energy Agency believes that achieving net zero will be impossible without it. But delivering next generation nuclear infrastructure requires complexity management on an epic scale.

The way forward

Battery storage

Effective battery storage is a critical part of successful energy transition, especially as the contribution of alternative energy sources becomes increasingly essential.

Wind and solar

Wind and solar installations are already playing a huge role in the achievement of our net zero targets – our challenge is to accelerate the delivery of the asset, grid and storage infrastructure that we need at the scale and pace required.
