Today, the utility industry is looking at the next evolution of analytics. The new wave of analytics initiatives is more than having a database, extracting data and analyzing historical trends. Analytics initiatives today are moving closer to near real-time data and analysis, all while dealing with increasingly complex data feeds and information demands. Utilities must sort through more—and more complex—data from a variety of sources to feed into their analytics applications. And it's no longer enough to just understand what happened yesterday or today. Increasingly, utilities are trying to understand and predict future outcomes across their companies.

To better understand this emerging and rapidly evolving analytics market, the Utility Analytics Institute, a division of Energy Central, surveyed close to 160 utility companies. This report uses those survey results, along with analyst insights, to:

• Define utility analytics
