WASHINGTON, June 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- In the midst of the ongoing energy transition, utilities must keep the lights on while simultaneously upgrading sometimes century-old infrastructure and integrating distributed energy resources (DER). According to Guidehouse's eighth annual survey of industry stakeholders, in partnership with Public Utilities Fortnightly, utilities are embracing the opportunity to redefine resilience and support thriving communities by improving customer experience.

Key Points: 
  • This year's findings show climate change and GHG reduction mandates make DER integration a necessity, along with building and transportation electrification.
  • But the resultant changing nature of power loads and flow means that Industry 4.0 technologies — automation, sensing and measurement, and cybersecurity — should be prioritized.
  • "The power grid and the utilities that enable it are foundational elements to a successful society and resilient economy.
  • It won't be easy, nor happen quickly, but all these advances have the potential to drive increased quality of life and improve social equity."
