Energy & Utilities: Digital Maturity Forecast to 2030
By 2030, energy will no longer be defined by traditional supply and demand. Instead, AI-driven insights, renewable portfolios, intelligent grids, and consumer empowerment will set the pace.
Digitopia’s analysis shows:
Leaders will accelerate from a DMI score of 3.40 (2024) to as high as 4.22 (2029) under the optimistic scenario, dominating with innovation, agility, and customer-centricity.
Average performers will improve modestly to around 3.29, maintaining stability but failing to differentiate.
Laggards, if they don’t act decisively, risk stagnating below 2.50 — facing existential threats from rising costs, poor customer experience, and competitive disruption.
The choice is clear: transform or fall behind.
