The Global Energy Challenge

Copyright © 2017 Accenture All rights reserved. |

THE ENERGY CHALLENGE Increased energy price volatility and carbon reporting requirements are making organizations re-thinking how they manage energy costs. Accenture in recent years is seeing an unprecedented inflection point with customers investing holistically to manage energy as a competitive advantage .

Companies lack the innovative ability

to connect everyday

objects through the Internet of Things (IoT) for

insight and cost saving

opportunities.

Organisations struggle to turn Big Data into

descriptive and predictive analytics to

improve performance.

Overall companies rate the maturity

level of their energy

management as less than

competitive.

Companies reported their energy management

strategies are not meeting cost benefit

expectations and are seeking

outcome based solutions.

The energy industry has not caught up

with the innovations available today and there is a lack of directions as most C-suites

are not yet engaged with

IoT.

Increased energy price volatility and carbon reporting

requirements have companies re-thinking how they manage energy costs.


GLOBAL COMMITMENTSAs demand for Renewable Energy (RE) accelerates in the transition to a low carbon economy, businesses need to pursue bolder solutions to keep global average surface temperature rise below the dangerous threshold of 2°C above pre-industrial levels and be seen to be taking positive action to combat climate change.

That’s not all, governments set carbon reduction plans and associated policies which organizations need to comply with to ensure these global commitments are achieved. Along with mandatory programs organizations have pledged their own commitments and signed up to global initiatives like RE100 to satisfy the demands of their investors, consumers and other stakeholders and increase brand reputation.
