Utilities across the world are radically transforming their businesses.
This is happening despite differing regulatory regimes and across the
diverse electricity, gas, water, and waste businesses. For instance,
technology is changing how energy is produced, transported,
consumed, and conserved. Technology is key to reducing the wastage
of water. Meanwhile, customers are not just increasing their experience
expectations — they are becoming prosumers with an active role in
energy markets. New business models are emerging, requiring utilities
to go beyond the traditional commodity business. Offering combined
distributed generation and energy storage at home is just one example of
how utilities are changing the way they accomplish their mission. Digital
disruptors are circumventing industry entry barriers, and utilities are being
reborn in 3D: decentralized, divergent, and digital.
While navigating along the journey, utilities have to maintain the right
balance between reinventing and growing their core and expanding into
new business models and revenue streams.
IntroductionIDC suggests that utilities should focus on three main elements: relevance, risk, and resilience.

Digitally determined utilities will be best-
positioned to evolve their businesses, adding
new business models and revenue streams,
as well as carving efficiencies out of their core
operations, with data as the pillar of innovation.
With the traditional commodity business
becoming progressively unsustainable, utilities
need to redefine their strategies to be relevant.

Utilities around the world continue to embark on
IoT projects for myriad use cases. Nonetheless,
a staggering 23.3% indicated that their IoT
deployments to date were unsuccessful.
Utilities need to rethink their approaches to
IoT, ensure they are launched company-wide,
and not pigeon-holed into single or multiple
departments. Also, utilities should tap into their
ecosystems of partners earlier on, and not wait
until after all the technology decisions have
already been made.
