THE ENERGY CHALLENGE
Increased energy price volatility and carbon reporting requirements are making organizations re-thinking how they manage energy costs. Accenture
in recent years is seeing an unprecedented inflection point with customers investing holistically to manage energy as a competitive advantage.
Companies lack the
innovative ability
to connect
everyday
objects through
the Internet of
Things (IoT) for
insight and cost
saving
opportunities.
Organisations
struggle to turn
Big Data into
descriptive and
predictive
analytics to
improve
performance.
Overall companies
rate the maturity
level of their
energy
management as
less than
competitive.
Companies reported
their energy
management
strategies are not
meeting cost benefit
expectations and
are seeking
outcome based
solutions.
The energy industry
has not caught up
with the innovations
available today and
there is a lack of
directions as
most C-suites
are not yet
engaged with
IoT.
Increased energy
price volatility and
carbon reporting
requirements have
companies re-
thinking how
they manage
energy costs.

GLOBAL
COMMITMENTS
As demand for Renewable Energy (RE)
accelerates in the transition to a low carbon
economy, businesses need to pursue bolder
solutions to keep global average surface
temperature rise below the dangerous
threshold of 2°C above pre-industrial levels
and be seen to be taking positive action to
combat climate change.
That’s not all, governments set carbon
reduction plans and associated policies
which organizations need to comply with to
ensure these global commitments are
achieved. Along with mandatory programs
organizations have pledged their own
commitments and signed up to global
initiatives like RE100 to satisfy the demands
of their investors, consumers and other
stakeholders and increase brand reputation.

50 billion: 6.6 devices per
person
 Worldwide Internet of Things
revenues to double from
2014 to 2020 to reach to $3
billion1
 Integration of products and
services moves across
platforms, intelligently
supporting decision-
making and automation2
Adaption
