What challenges does this rapidly changing energy landscape pose for customers?


The energy market is rapidly evolving with the energy transition as one of the most fundamental changes: What challenges does this rapidly changing energy landscape pose for customers?

The energy transition poses big challenges to all of us – the authorities and governments, our customers, and also the manufacturers of energy equipment. Transmission and Distribution System Operators (TSOs and DSOs), as well as our industry and infrastructure customers, are faced with rising global demand for energy and three radical changes at the same time:

  1. Decarbonization: worldwide increasing focus on the environment (strong increase in renewable energy generation, sustainable power distribution with lower losses, a stronger focus on electrical transportation);
  2. Decentralization: embraced system complexity by decentralized energy sources and prosumers;
  3. Digitalization: adopting digital solutions to improve asset performance and grid management.

 

Consequently, our customers are facing the challenge of keeping the grid connection resilient and reliable during the energy transition while also focusing on increasing sustainability and exploiting opportunities of new technologies and digitalization. In addition, there is an increasing focus on localization, especially in the wind industry.
