“The stone-age did not end for lack of stone, and the oil-age will end long before the world runs out of oil.”- Sheikh Ahmed Zaki Yamani, former Saudi Arabian Oil Minister vocalized these words in 2000. After 16 years, the world has begun to make a move from the conventional oil-age, replicating what he said. Technology is revamping the Energy & Utility (E&U) domain in every aspect. The world is shifting power sources to green, renewable energy radicals and implementing complex demand management methods. IT works as a critical engine in these transitions, whether it is implementing advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) solutions, addressing the customer management environment, or managing other key areas in power generation, distribution & customer services stratums.
