Inside the Energy Orchestrator: A New Operating Model

Learn how utilities can reimagine their roles, capabilities, and partnerships to thrive in a decentralized energy world.

The second part of our Energy Orchestrator series outlines the operating model that enables utilities to function as dynamic platform coordinators. It introduces five core roles—such as Ecosystem Architect and Data Orchestration Officer—and explains how AI, digital twins, and distributed ledger technologies support real-time coordination across complex energy ecosystems. The model emphasizes interoperability with tech-owned assets, regulatory innovation, and performance metrics that reflect ecosystem value creation.

Key Insights:

  • The five foundational roles that define the Energy Orchestrator organization
  • How AI enables predictive maintenance, demand response, and grid-edge optimization
  • Frameworks for integrating private microgrids into utility operations
  • A phased roadmap for implementation: foundation building, market development, and ecosystem optimization
