There is a growing global trend of digitalisation within the energy sector, which is altering how energy is generated, distributed, and leveraged. Data analytics has always been present in the energy & utilities industry. Yet, taking your company to the next level by realising transformational goals and creating a foundation for efficiency and innovation in such a dynamic industry, requires that you use data science to its full capacity.

​

Data analytics can be leveraged in grid modernisation efforts to  introduce resilience into the energy & utilities ecosystem. It addresses vulnerabilities in the current grid system. For example, energy can be allocated based on demand, rather than providing a constant energy flow. This stimulates renewable energy, and helps mitigate power outages.  Furthermore, smart grids can help you anticipate and mitigate potential risk factors by leveraging sensors, data, and analytics whilst simultaneously using critical resources such vegetation management teams to be  efficiently deployed.

Data scientists are spearheading transformation initiatives. The energy & utilities  industry offers an abundance of opportunities to positively impact  climate change and sustainability efforts, and reduce dependency on  fossil fuels. Data science will continue to be vital in enabling the  energy industry to respond to needs and prepare for a more energy efficient future.
