These three steps can help utilities move forward in their grid modernization journey: 1. Strengthen grid resilience through technology and automation, including real-time monitoring, self-repair systems, demand response platforms and cybersecurity collaboration. 2. Enhance energy flexibility to better manage renewable variability.
Use digital twins, predictive algorithms, IoT, AI and real-time data for grid optimization, resilience and cost efficiency. Ultimately, the modernization of electric grids is a collective responsibility that requires collaboration, innovation and a shared vision for a secure and sustainable energy future.
In our survey of nearly 600 global C-suite and senior utility executives, all say their organizations have a grid modernization strategy and execution plan. We found that utilities are spending, on average, 9.8% of their annual revenue on grid modernization investments, which is over 40% of their overall transmission and distribution investments.
The pace of transition in grid expansion and modernization are expected to be largely determined by the movement of four enablers: capital availability, talent accessibility, technology readiness, and business models. However, the progress on these is often complicated with multiple interdependencies.
By modernizing the grid, industries can access a reliable and uninterrupted power supply, optimize energy consumption and quickly recover from power disruptions.
