Utilities

For utilities companies, the concept of sustainability is certainly nothing new. From sourcing to field-service delivery, every aspect of your operations is an opportunity to become more sustainable—and by extension, more profitable and efficient.

Sustainability doesn’t have to mean huge changes in how you source your energy. Your entire supply chain presents a huge number of opportunities that, when enabled by the right solutions, can add up to a greener future for your company, your customers, and your world.

Key sustainability challenges:

  • Maximizing efficiency and minimizing wasted energy
  • Responding to customer demand for sustainable energy
  • Providing energy-efficient field service

Five ways to enable a more efficient and
eco-friendly enterprise in utilities.

1

Clearly map out your supply chain to identify any immediately obvious areas of inefficiency.

2

Use Internet of Things tools to measure and monitor hard-to-track parts of the supply chain, and uncover where resources are going to waste; consider how you could apply smart-grid and smart-meter technology.

3

Create repeatable reporting processes that can help you demonstrate your commitment to sustainability to your customers.

4

Explore new ways of influencing end-user behavior by rewarding energy efficiency and smoothing demand across peak and off-peak times.

5

Track and visualize as much of your supply chain as possible, to ensure easier compliance with new regulations.
