Energy markets are diversifying at a rapid pace. In an environment where customers are also producers of energy, utilities have to fully embrace customer centricity. However, they also need to re-think their data utilization. With the right partners, aggregated data can be used to develop smart electricity solutions that have an impact on both a household and a grid level.
Key insights
