The energy and utilities sector is currently navigating a complex and ever-evolving landscape, filled with both challenges and exciting opportunities. With accelerating consumer power demand, sustainable energy solutions, decarbonisation objectives, and the promise of generative AI for transformation, energy and utilities organisations have a lot to think about.
However, businesses cannot afford to simply focus on one area of change, and there in lies the problem for this sector. All of these challenges and opportunities have come at once, meaning strategies for digital transformation in energy and utilities need to encompass all of them, while futureproofing for changes yet to come.
With aging infrastructure, energy affordability issues, and regulatory uncertainty already plaguing many organisations, having an IT partner on board to help deliver a comprehensive digital strategy is vital. From data analytics that supports predictive maintenance to scalable cloud infrastructure that meets the ever-changing demands of consumers, technology is the answer.

FAQs
Energy and utilities companies need digital transformation to overcome challenges such as customer demands, environmental regulations, market competition, and operational efficiency. Nasstar provides end-to-end IT solutions that use innovative technologies such as cloud, AI & automation, and cyber security. Nasstar's IT solutions can help energy and utilities companies by:
- Forecasting and optimising energy demand with AI-powered analytics and machine learning
- Improving operational performance and asset management with IoT-enabled devices and sensors
- Streamlining back-office procsses and workflows with automation and RPA tools
- Securing data and systems against cyber threats and breaches with proactive security solutions
- Empowering employees and customers with cloud-based platforms and applications
System interoperability is often a barrier to success when dealing with energy and utility infrastructure. That’s why we created our Unified Data Platform offering which is built to ingest data from multiple different systems and sources. The platform then normalises the data and makes it available to machine learning algorithms for prediction and anomaly detection, whilst also creating valuable actionable insights.
We understand that the main priority for energy and utility companies is uninterrupted production, and we can support this goal with strategic, technological advice. To first meet your objectives, we recommend that organisations work with an established, trusted partner to accelerate the adoption of appropriate technology, allowing you to focus on delivering the supply of the utility to consumers.
Improving energy usage has become highly important in a world with growing energy needs and a subsequent increase in energy costs, and AI has been widely accepted as a method for reducing global energy consumption.
AI can contribute to energy demand forecasting by processing and analysing historical energy consumption data, weather patterns, economic indicators and other relevant factors more quickly and efficiently. By using machine learning, better predictions can be made. This means that energy forecasting models can improve their ability to predict future outcomes.
