Energy & Utilities

Digital maturity significantly influences the success of companies in the Energy & Utilities sector, separating leaders from laggards. Leaders use digital innovations such as data analytics and smart grids to improve efficiency and customer service, gaining a competitive edge. Laggards, however, fall behind in adopting these advancements, failing to realize their benefits. Successful firms blend strong governance with agility in responding to customers and operations. The Digital Maturity Index (DMI) highlights the critical role of digital integration in ensuring industry resilience and preparing for future challenges and opportunities.

The Energy & Utilities industry’s digital transformation is marked by a cautious approach, as highlighted by its modest digital maturity levels compared to other sectors. The analysis, based on the Digital Vitality Graph and Digital Snowflake Scores, indicates significant room for growth in efficiency, customer service, and innovation. The industry has focused more on digital endurance, such as governance and technology infrastructure, at the expense of agility and quick response to market changes. Despite a move towards a more balanced digital approach, the sector still needs to fine-tune its strategy for a tighter integration of digital capabilities. This shift could improve its competitiveness and leadership in the global energy transition.
