Tech Trends 2017 and the power industry

Disrupting the utility

Deloitte’s annual flagship report, Tech Trends 2017 continues to identify the key trends that will likely revolutionise enterprise technology in the next 18-24 months. This spin-off report talks about how the trends presented in Tech Trends 2017 are likely to impact the power and utilities industry.

Digital has profoundly disrupted businesses over the years and utilities are no exception to this. But, the question is, which technologies really have the potential for utilities to yield a competitive advantage?

Right from virtualisation to machine intelligence, blockchain, and dark analytics, this report analyses the trends that could disrupt utilities in the next 18-24 months. While experimenting with new trends is a high-stakes endeavour, there’s no sitting on the sidelines when it comes to some of these trends.

Cutting through the hyperbole to identify those most critical and disruptive innovations is particularly important for utilities. To realise that potential, utilities should become a “kinetic enterprise” where the only constant is change.
