| | APRIL 20186CIOReview"We are all now connected by the Internet, like neurons in a giant brain"Stephen Hawkins. While the world grieves over the loss of the legendary physicist, the aforementioned quote will serve as the precursor to the ensuing discussion about Utilities Technology in this edition of CIOReview. Admittedly, utility sector, of late, has adopted technological innovations to improve its bottom-line. Smart home solutions such as smart meters, which allow customers to keep a check on electricity usage by providing real-time statistics, can prove extremely fructuous for utility companies. By analyzing the data generated by devices like smart meters, organizations can avert emergency situations and even provide a better option to its customers. It also can glean insights into energy consumption and performance, thereby upping the efficiency of the entire operational processes of utility companies. This, however, is just the tip of the iceberg. Major organizations in the utility space are rooting for renewable energy sources to reduce the burden on fuel-based generation model. As the consumer demand burgeons each passing day, many big corporate houses have devised IoT-enabled and cloud-powered smart energy grid to optimize the overspill energy generated via renewable sources. It will go a long way in countering the energy deficiency that may arise in the future. Along the same lines, innovation such as the Energy clouddecentralized and smart power grid architectureis an emerging platform that will enable utility companies to deliver high quality power to its customers. Additionally, predictive analytics, mobile technology, and other trendsetter technologies will be the perfect ally for organizations navigating through the utility conundrum. In 2018, companies that strike the perfect balance between consumer demands and emerging technology trends will champion the utility technology race. While there is a thrust on redeeming the value of renewable sources, organizations operating in the utility spectrum need to bring more innovations to the fore in order to make the best use of this trend.
