Power and utilities

At KPMG we help power and utilities companies respond and adapt to challenge. The ongoing energy transition, new technologies, regulatory pressures and changing consumer expectations has created a difficult environment. We expect permanent changes to work, travel, and patterns of energy demand, a need for smarter energy systems and new business models.

We work with water, power generation, transmission and distribution businesses. We help them to reduce operating costs, comply with regulation, implement new technology, and develop customer strategies. Our experience can help you shape your business model for the new energy world.

Welcome to the third edition of Plugged In, a magazine for power and utilities professionals by KPMG International. This edition delves into the transformative potential of technology, including artificial intelligence (AI), automation, and smart grids in the power and utilities industry.

Technological advancements have always played a vital role in shaping the power and utilities sector. This edition of Plugged In serves as a guide to this dynamic terrain, offering insights into cutting-edge technologies, strategic frameworks, and real-world implementations that have helped drive progress and strengthen resilience.

As the industry undergoes significant transformation — shifting from fossil fuels to low-carbon alternatives amid a cost-of-living crisis — we believe the need for innovative solutions has never been greater. This edition is particularly relevant for those interested in harnessing the transformative potential of technology, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and smart grids, and the pressing need for decarbonisation to help navigate these challenges.
