UTILITIES

Powering the energy transition

The energy transition is reshaping the utilities sector. Growing demand, renewable generation, ageing infrastructure and increasing network complexity are factors changing how utilities plan, operate and invest.

Digital transformation in energy and utilities

Success depends on balancing rising demand with modern energy networks that deliver cleaner, more reliable energy – this will be dependent on improving operational performance. By connecting data, modernising operations and applying AI responsibly, utilities can make better decisions, optimise critical assets and build the resilient, intelligent networks needed for the future.

47%

47% of the EU’s electricity now comes from renewable energy sources

Renewables have become Europe’s largest source of electricity generation, creating new opportunities, and new operational challenges, for utilities as networks become increasingly decentralised and complex.

50%

Grid investment must increase by 50% by 2030 to meet growing electricity demand

As electricity demand accelerates, utilities face increasing pressure to expand andmodernise ageing networks. Delivering the energy transition will depend on smarter grids, better data and more intelligent network operations

European data centre power demand is expected to more than triple by 2030

The rapid growth of AI is driving a sharp increase in data centre power demand, with European data centre capacity expected to rise from around 10 GW today to approximately 35 GW by 2030. This is placing new pressure on utilities to modernise networks, expand capacity and make smarter investment decisions.

Turning utility challenges into progress

Accelerate digital transformation across the energy network

The energy transition depends on more than new infrastructure. We help utilities modernise digital foundations, connect systems and transform operations to support growing demand, renewable generation and increasingly intelligent networks.

Turn data into operational intelligence

Better decisions start with better data. We help utilities connect operational and enterprise data to improve forecasting, optimise network performance and give colleagues greater insight.

Optimise operations with AI

AI is transforming everything from asset management and predictive maintenance to network planning and outage response times. We help utilities deploy AI responsibly to improve productivity, strengthen resilience and deliver measurable operational improvements.

From ambition to implementation

The energy transition is about transforming how organisations work. By combining consulting, data, AI and technology, we help utilities turn strategy into implementation and create lasting value for stakeholders. .
