UTILITIES TRANSFORMATION BLOG

A Beginners Guide to Digital Transformation

Utilities are faced with many challenges in the transformation of the energy sector. The increase of renewables and distributed energy resources has changed the way power is generated and altered business models. Competition from new market entrants and high customer churn threaten revenues. Cyberattacks target infrastructure and the security of the power grid. The industry is at a crossroads and hard choices need to be made. In order to remain competitive, companies must be willing and ready to change their strategy. Disruption impacts the sector’s core business and the industry needs to recognize that the transformation will be long term and substantial.

It’s impossible to summarize the impact of the energy transformation in a single article or through catchy soundbites, so Paddington has written a collection of blog articles and hopes to help you understand clearly the “what”, “why”, and “how” surrounding this huge topic.

The aim of this series will be to examine 4 key areas: transformation, the challenges, the uncomfortable truth and a new start.
