Why Attend?
Full Overview
The energy and utilities sectors are facing pressures on every front. Consumers are pressing for more affordable, environmentally sustainable power; the aged US energy grid is struggling to keep up with increased electrification demands; and new and tougher regulations are being implemented. To combat these challenges, businesses are evaluating how digital solutions such as advanced sensors, smart grids, machine learning and AI can be applied to predict faults and guarantee quality, availability and reliability, while also closing the sustainability gap.
As the US energy and utility sector takes steps to reinvent itself in the face of changing demand, business leaders are considering what their strategic innovation roadmap should look like. They are also examining how new regulations and policies are affecting their operations, while at the same time assessing the role of technology in their resource transition and the electrification of society. Key questions that they are grappling with include how they can harness the opportunities of digital instrumentation and automation of the power grid; why risk detection is so important; how they can leverage AI; why gamification of energy consumption is key; how they can achieve a just transition that ensures all customers benefit; and how innovation can enable a shift away from centrally located power generation to a decentralized model, helping to increase efficiency and optimize energy use.
This webinar – hosted by the Financial Times in partnership with Fujitsu Uvance – will explore how energy and utility companies in North America can apply a digital-first mindset to achieve their long-term, sustainability goals. It will also examine the role that technology can play in providing a superior, reliable service that has the power to help clients reduce their energy consumption in an era of rising prices and greater demand for sustainability.
