The need for climate action and other macro trends continue to generate demand for sustainable energy — from renewables to green hydrogen to demand response and the rise of prosumers. Energy companies and utilities need effective ways to develop and manage these initiatives to help drive the energy transition and decarbonisation, and adapt to an evolving ecosystem with new entrants from other industries.
From diversifying the energy mix with cleaner sources, to enabling greater reliability and flexibility for industrial and residential consumers, energy and utilities organisations have a unique role to play in accelerating the decarbonisation of our societies.
