Description (excerpt):
Changing customer needs, evolving policy and regulation, and accelerating innovation around digital technology and distributed energy resources (DER) are driving historic transformation across the energy industry. Ultimately, these changes will contribute to an emerging grid that is cleaner, more distributed, and increasingly intelligent—also known as the Energy Cloud.
Navigant’s latest white paper, Navigating the Energy Transformation, is the next installment in Navigant’s Energy Cloud analysis, offering a framework for approaching strategic planning in a time of rapid evolution. The paper details developments and technologies that have emerged in the last two years, focusing on emerging platforms for growth such as Internet of Things (IoT), smart cities, and transactive energy, while evaluating shifting revenue across the value chain and the implications for incumbent players and new market entrants. Finally, industry stakeholders, and particularly utilities, are provided a blueprint—the Energy Cloud Playbook—for proactively preparing and managing their organization to maneuver around the Energy Cloud disruption and position for long-term success.
