Smart Grids, an integrated, end to end approach

Each year hundreds of billions of Euros are spent modernizing power grids. Ensuring that those investments are smart, and the grids they create are smart too, is critical to the success of our shared global mission. There is no time to lose and resources are finite.

With Capgemini’s support throughout their change journey, today’s leading power grid companies look very different to their predecessors, thanks to a strategically considered, integrated, end-to-end approach that supports client organizations through each stage of their transformation journey.

With digital technologies and data management at the core of our holistic approach, Capgemini helps grid companies achieve three key business objectives, to:

1. integrate intermittent renewable distributed energy sources, such as solar and wind

2. improve grid reliability, security and affordability

3. implement demand response management and energy storage optimization.

Too often digitalization projects are tactical, to empower field forces or procurement teams for example. Helpful though these are, when carried out in isolation their benefits are limited. By thinking and planning strategically, across the enterprise, Capgemini unlocks and maximizes value, with comprehensive and integrated digital transformation programs, with the goal of eliminating silos and capturing data from all sources on one central platform. This single source of truth can be shared and exploited by all, throughout the business and its extended supply chain.
