Exploring the utility customer of the future
Where we were years ago compared to today has been a transformational journey that's happened in a very short amount of time. All the data available now really does give utilities and renewable companies the ability to interact on a much more personal basis than they had even a few years ago.
Jim Thomson
The COVID-19 crisis and the related economic downturn are an external disaster that all utility companies are contending with now.
How can utilities overcome these disruptions? In this podcast episode, we share how it’s important for utility companies, now facing a higher bar for consumer engagement, to advance and take advantage of new digital ways to communicate and interact.
Hear how the 3Ds are reshaping the power industry and transforming customer expectations. And, we also discuss the interconnectivity of the customer and utility journey and how the current pandemic situation is affecting the customer experience.

Navigating the energy transition from disruption to growth: Energy and industrial companies are positioned for a lower-carbon future
Stanley Porter, vice chairman, US Energy, Resources & Industrials leader, Deloitte LLP
Kate Hardin, executive director, Deloitte Research Center for Energy & Industrials, Deloitte Services LP
It’s great to buy an electric vehicle, but if you are charging that car on power that’s generated on coal, you’re not really making a big difference. If you’re charging that car on power that’s generated with renewables then you are making a much bigger difference in terms of carbon reduction.
Are we getting closer to a lower-carbon future? Deloitte’s energy transition survey reveals the drive to cleaner energy sources continues to sustain momentum, even amid economic headwinds. In this episode, Host Tanya Ott discusses the report findings with authors Stanley and Kate. They share how companies are engineering change across six key channels—and how the COVID-19 crisis could actually accelerate the clean energy transition.
