Customer experience in energy retail

Customers are at the centre of the biggest digital transformation in the history of the energy industry.

Everyday technologies are empowering consumers to take control, choosing energy services providers based on their preferences, values, and experiences of personalized services, readily available in other sectors. They’re energy producers and storers too, with their own solar panels, wind turbines and electric vehicles.

But while agile, service-centred newcomers are creating a busy and diverse marketplace, established energy services providers retain important competitive advantage. Converting rich reserves of real-time customer data into powerful insights and business intelligence, using smart analytics and AI, can transform a commodity provider into an engaged partner. The result is flexible, optimized – and profitable – energy services that customers value and trust.

 â€œThe energy transition is bringing disruption to our energy systems. This is far outweighed, though, by the opportunities available to drive fundamental transformation to customer relationships based on intelligent use of data, AI and cloud technologies. The future of Customer is digital, intelligent, sustainable, optimised but most importantly, attainable now!â€

      As the scope of services provided by energy retailers continues to expand, maintaining in-house expertise across the range – from EVs to smart meters and everything in between – becomes increasingly costly and inefficient.
