Unlocking sustainable, customer-driven business models for utility companies

The utilities business model has changed radically over the past few years. From classic and green energy producers and distribution network providers to utility retailers, all utility businesses are facing new challenges triggered by digital disruption, novel business models and empowered consumers.

The future of the utilities sector lies in its ability to adapt and bring real value-added services to customers in creative ways. Companies must optimise their operations by integrating and embedding innovative functionalities and tools that generate direct added value and sustainable growth in an increasingly efficiency- and customer-driven economy. 

The 3 Ds: challenges facing the utilities industry

Utility companies used to work in a linear, easily scalable way: simply producing and selling more led to increased revenues. However, digitalisation and the scarcity of resources have changed this business model radically over the past few years. 

Nowadays, utility companies have to address three big challenges: decarbonisation, deregulation and decentralisation.
