Vlad Gheorghe, Senior Project Manager, Horváth & Partners Management Consultants: Smart metering programs have limited intrinsic value and are perceived as platforms for other strategic pursuits

The manager referred to some interesting conclusions extracted from the company’s recent Energy & Utilities conducted survey, within today’s e-conference DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION CONFERENCE in ENERGY & UTILITIES organized by The Diplomat-Bucharest, bringing together leaders spearheading digital initiatives in their organizations.

Robots cut costs: digitalization chiefly ensures resilience via the streamlining of the cost base

Green deal still: renewables investment budgets have not been completely curtailed. investors probably are actively looking for COVID19 discounts (and in Romania most certainly are waiting for the implementation of the CfD scheme)

Smart metering needs complementary initiatives: smart metering programs have limited intrinsic value and are perceived as platforms for other strategic pursuits

DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION CONFERENCE in ENERGY & UTILITIES organized by The Diplomat-Bucharest on May 7th tackled the ways in which digitalization and innovation drive the emergence of a digital utilities business. The urgent need to understand, integrate and get updated with the new technologies is evident for any organization. Big data, meter data, cloud, Internet of Things, omnichanneling, smart metering are not anymore new concepts but daily working tools and the enablers of digital transformation for utilities.

The e-conference benefited from the support of Gold Partners Siemens, MET, Horwath & Partners, Kaspersky, SAS, Partners Sea One, Wave and supporting institutions ANRE, CIO Council, ANIS (the Employers’ Association of the Software and Services in Romania), ACUE (Federation of Associations of Energy Utility Companies), AFEER (Association of traders with electricity in Romania), ARPEE (Romanian Association for the Promotion of Energy), Romanian National Committee of CIGRE, ClujIT, World Energy Council.

The e-conferences, powered by The Diplomat-Bucharest, are a brand new media product, designed to deliver easy and fast, directly to the core audience, the valuable insights of senior figures, experts and the most known specialists in the strategic industries, to discuss the most pressing aspects in today’s economy landscape.
