Whether it’s how energy is generated, distributed, sold or metered, there can be no doubt the utility sector has undergone massive change in relatively few years.
The UK utilities sector is undergoing rapid transformation, driven by new regulations, sustainability goals, and digital innovation. The Energy Act 2023 introduced measures to enhance energy security and accelerate net-zero commitments, while smart grids, AI, and automation are reshaping grid management and service delivery. At the same time, water and energy providers face rising regulatory pressures and consumer expectations for efficiency, transparency, and reliability. In this evolving landscape, robust software systems are essential to optimise operations, maintain compliance, and ensure uninterrupted service delivery.
Challenges in the Utilities Sector
Utility companies face unique challenges, including the need for seamless integration of legacy systems with modern technologies, adherence to stringent regulatory requirements, and the demand for uninterrupted service delivery.
