Amid the attempts to innovate and economize the services offered by the electric utility industry, there are a couple of degenerative forces, causing its pitfalls. According to the EIA report, there is a significant reduction in the electric utility’s revenue gain. Although new and high-tech equipment replaced the old and outdated ones, increasing the efficiency standards, the trend is declining the productivity and performance of the industry due to the various economic and demographic factors. However, surpassing the hindering elements, the electric utility has a critical need to fulfill the market demands by delivering innovative offerings encircling mobile-based thermostat applications, and high-capacity batteries. The following are some of the key influences on the electric utility industry.
• Digitalization
With the onset of the Internet of Things (IoT), the demand for sensors, automation, smart applications, intelligent computing mechanisms, and secured communications rise. The transformed architecture of the appliances and digital upgradations result in large amounts of mission data. The same further inhibits the functioning standard of the electric utility as its traditional infrastructure fails to keep pace with the new results.
