Digital Transformation – Powering Energy Transition

Power companies worldwide are under increasing pressure to integrate more renewable energy resources into the grid, deliver reliable and resilient power, and ensure safe, efficient operations. Digital transformation has emerged as a crucial enabler to help energy providers overcome these challenges, optimize performance, reduce operational costs, and accelerate the transition to a sustainable energy future.

Thanks to advances in digital technologies, companies in the energy sector now collect, analyze, and act on industrial data in real-time. This empowers operators to monitor the performance of renewable energy assets—such as wind turbines and solar panels—more effectively, enabling rapid, data-driven decisions that maximize output and reliability.

For example, predictive maintenance uses machine learning to identify potential equipment failures before they occur, significantly reducing downtime and improving asset efficiency. Moreover, real-time monitoring helps optimize power generation, ensuring that renewable sources contribute consistently to the grid.

Digital transformation also facilitates better integration of renewables into existing grids. Advanced analytics and forecasting tools enable utilities to balance supply and demand dynamically, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and increasing the share of clean energy in the power mix (International Energy Agency – IEA, 2024).

Energy companies face evolving regulatory requirements, market competition, and public demands to reduce carbon emissions. To succeed, they must optimize capital expenditures, ensure security of supply, and equip their workforce with new digital skills.

Leading companies are embracing innovative digital tools to:

• Reduce carbon footprints
• Improve project execution efficiency
• Build operational agility and resilience
• Empower employees with actionable insights

• Qatar Power: By implementing digital tools to optimize operations, Qatar Power increased fuel efficiency by 10%, saving $1.4 million annually while advancing its renewable energy goals (Qatar Power Annual Report, 2023). 
• ENEL: ENEL uses an AI-enhanced asset performance management system to predict equipment failures, cutting maintenance costs and preventing over 220 failures within 21 months, optimizing over 20GW of generation capacity (ENEL Sustainability Report, 2023). 
• Western Energy Imbalance Market (WEIM): WEIM leverages AVEVA PI System to manage massive data flows, enabling efficient wholesale energy trading and renewable integration across 22 entities in the western U.S. (AVEVA Case Study, 2024).
