Transforming the Utilities Industry Through Digital Technologies
Electric, gas, and water utilities are facing regulatory pressures. For example, governments expect gas and electric utilities to support global sustainability and energy transition goals. They also require water utilities to ensure water quality and availability. While an increasing number of electrical customers also become energy producers, their expectations have changed. Furthermore, utilities are facing growing challenges in terms of skilled worker shortages, high investment and maintenance costs, and heavy asset losses due to the rising number of natural disasters. To address these issues, utilities globally are investing in digital technologies to transform their day-to-day operations, enable predictive maintenance, reduce human dependency, automate repetitive and tedious tasks, and reduce costs. These emerging trends are covered in Avasant’s Utilities Digital Services 2022–2023 RadarView™.

Comparative Analysis of IT Spending by Energy Utilities
Gas and electric utilities make considerable investments in information technology. In this study, we take a special look at IT spending and staffing in the utility sector by comparing key, high-level metrics against a broad sample of organizations. For the comparative analysis, we use three measures of IT intensity: IT spending as a percentage of revenue, IT spending per user, and application spending per user. To determine where spending differs, we break down IT spending into five functional areas: IT management, applications, data center, network, and end-user support. We also examine IT staff headcount by those same functional areas. (14 pp., 6 figs.) [Research Byte]

Holding IT Accountable for Energy Costs
Rising energy costs are creating new pressures on IT managers to lower the amount of energy consumed by data centers. Yet, surprisingly, nearly half of IT organizations are not held accountable for energy costs in their IT budgets. This article analyzes current practices in IT budgeting for power and cooling costs, looks at two key concepts for assessing the return on investment from more energy-efficient data center technologies, and suggests ways in which IT mangers could actually benefit from having utilities charged to the IT budget.
