Utilities are chasing big goals: decarbonization, grid modernization, AI in control rooms, open data, and cloud migration. But here’s the truth: none of these initiatives succeed without the critical layer of integration.
Why it matters:
AI in control rooms – by 2027, 40% of utilities will deploy AI-driven operations, but those models are only as good as the data they ingest.
Open data ecosystems – can cut cost-to-serve by 10%, but only if the data is trusted and consistent.
Cloud adoption – by 2028, 60% of utilities will be in enterprise or industry clouds, yet hybrid environments collapse without robust integration.
Grid resilience & wildfire modeling – relying on synchronized GIS, asset, and network data to be actionable.
Integration isn’t plumbing. It’s the infrastructure beneath the infrastructure. When it’s persistent, traceable, and domain-aware, every other investment — from AI to DER orchestration — compounds in value.
