Discover how, with vision and ingenuity, you can accelerate the pace of digital adoption across the value chain, delivering both quick wins and long-term dividends in the future. For your business, your consumers, and the environment.<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-cg-blocks-group undefined section section--article-content\"><div class=\"article-main-content\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-11 col-lg-10 offset-md-1 offset-lg-1\"><div class=\"article-text article-quote-text\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-do-environmental-urgency-ageing-assets-and-consumer-demands-mean-for-the-energy-and-utilities-industry\">What do environmental urgency, ageing assets, and consumer demands mean for the energy and utilities industry?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The challenges facing global energy and utilities businesses are uniquely complex. By 2050, the global population will reach 10 billion, with two thirds living in urban areas, generating an ever-increasing demand for food, water and energy. To meet this demand the world\u2019s economies must continue to adapt, modernise and expand. The growing frequency of extreme weather events is a constant reminder of the increasing nature of the climate crisis and further cements the imperative to achieve Net Zero. Meanwhile, conflict and geo-political instability is having unforeseen impacts on supply, security, and resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are in urgent need of a transformation to accelerate the replacement of our aging power and water utility networks with smarter, cleaner, and more resilient infrastructure \u2013 powered by digital technology and data.\u202fAchieving this transition will enable the industry to operate sustainably, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and preserve our precious and finite natural resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But this challenge comes against a backdrop of ever-increasing costs and tighter regulation. Plus, it\u2019s not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/gb-en\/industries\/energy-and-utilities\/\">energy and utilities<\/a> business\u2019 only priority. Consumers are demanding personalised, top-quality services, action to protect the environment, and more affordable bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating the critical systems and networks we need to achieve our shared goals is a monumental task and an onerous responsibility, played out on an epic scale. Therefore, success requires visionary decision making, substantial investment and the skill and ingenuity to integrate ground breaking new technologies into legacy infrastructure, while also building the new infrastructure that\u2019s fit for the rest of the 21st Century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How is the energy and utilities sector rising to the challenge?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>From lagging behind many other industries in digital adoption, energy and utilities businesses are now catching up \u2013 turning threats into opportunities by embracing innovation, collaboration, game-changing technologies, and the power of integrated data analytics and insight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Digitally empowered field force engineers are now acting on live data from extensive use of sensors to improve operational performance and efficiency of the assets they maintain, which in turn delivers significant benefits for the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adoption of digital approaches, tools and techniques \u2013 digital thinking \u2013 is playing a pivotal role in the journey of innovation and change that energy and utilities businesses are on, encouraged by the digital transformation of industries like automotive and aerospace, where digital is in their DNA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Scottish Water, we achieved real-time access to operational data <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/gb-en\/news\/client-stories\/capgemini-helps-scottish-water-to-transform-wastewater-treatment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">using a combination of existing infrastructure and new \u2018Internet of Things\u2019 sensors and devices<\/a>. Enabling asset optimisation, this helped them reduce energy consumption, emissions, incident severity, and cost of asset interventions, while increasing asset life and reducing chemical and operational spend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In France, we worked with one of the world\u2019s most innovative water businesses Saur to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saur.com\/press-releases\/saur-is-accelerating-its-digital-transformation-with-capgemini-to-meet-the-challenges-of-managing-water-services-at-a-time-of-ecological-emergency\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">design and deploy a digital factory<\/a> dedicated to the industrialisation of breakthrough data and digital technologies, to improve commercial performance and achieve operational excellence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This collaboration was designed to accelerate digital projects and drive new ways of working. As part of its corporate transformation plan, Saur wanted to acquire the capabilities to deliver innovative technological projects that boosted its commercial performance and operational excellence and apply them on an industrial scale to digitalise its business lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s next in the \u2018Future of\u2019 series?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout this series, we\u2019ll explore how digital technology is revolutionising the way utilities are now operating \u2013 providing a snapshot of what is already being achieved, enroute to a fully connected and optimised business model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Expect insight, expert opinions, and actionable advice on areas like transforming infrastructure performance, driving digital culture, and harnessing data-driven automation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can Capgemini help your business?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Capgemini is a leading strategic partner for energy transition and utilities transformation, working with organisations around the world to chart a course toward the future they want, and the planets\u2019 needs. We then guide clients in navigating the many challenges that come with fundamental operational change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can help you take a comprehensive and holistic approach to transformation, focusing not just on building a strong technological foundation and on scaling use cases, but also transforming the business itself.
