Only those that innovate will survive
Utilities are one of the last sectors to come to mind with respect to technological innovation – yet the entire industry is currently being reshaped and the long-term sustainability of the incumbents’ business model is being called into question.

"The smart companies will drive this change and embrace this change and look for economic solutions for their customers.
