White PapersDISRUPTION BECOMES EVOLUTION: CREATING THE VALUED-BASED UTILITYThis paper was written for power and energy executives and regulators faced with rationalizing the rapid and numerous changes currently pressuring the traditional structure of the utility industry. It shows how disruptive change in other industries caused the “rules of the road” to be changed, and how the lessons learned from those experiences can be applied to the utility industry.New business models and cutting edge technologies such as distributed solar and CHP, demand response, microgrids, energy storage, electric vehicles, cyber-security, advanced wholesale markets, and new competitive retail markets are all impacting the traditional regulated utility industry. Generation, grid operations, and wholesale and retail energy sales are being transformed by innovation and competition, forcing utilities faster than ever to make critical choices about business models and technologies.CMG experts bring their deep professional experience and a global view of these trends and opportunities to suggest how the market can accelerate its digitalization and transformation toward a truly robust and sustainable energy future.
