The energy industry has changed more in the past five years than the previous fifty and shows no signs of slowing down. We live in a world where energy management intersects with technology by the second and that cross between information and technology affects the utility relationship with its customers in a big way. This evolution has introduced new considerations that will influence how utilities plan and manage relationships with and offerings to customers, with goals of greater customer engagement and increased customer value. This is going to require new business models, collaborations, standards and policy. This address will highlight a brief history of where we’ve been, how far we’ve come and most importantly where we need to go. We hope to spark ideas for further discussion about how we get there.
