Big Data BlackOut: Are Utilities
Powering Up Their Data Analytics?

Utilities’ Analytics Performance is Under-Powered
number of sustained outages by 50%.
This innovation, combined with information
on customer outage provided by meters,
meant EPB reduced total restoration
time by 1.5 days, representing almost
$1.5 million in operational savings and
significantly reduced costs for customers3
.
Are utilities grasping these analytics
opportunities? In recent years, the
industry has appeared hesitant. In 2012,
we conducted joint research with the MIT
Center for Digital Business to understand
the digital maturity of a range of industries.
Our study revealed that utilities had low
digital maturity and their investment in
digital technologies – such as analytics4
– was conservative. Subsequent 2013
research, in partnership with the MIT
Sloan Management Review, revealed that
57% of utilities did not consider analytics
a major opportunity5
.
Big Data in the utilities sector can only get
even bigger as the smart transformation
of the industry accelerates. It is estimated
that 680 million smart meters will be
installed globally by 2017 – leading to
280 petabytes of data a year1
. This Big
Data surge is an opportunity for utilities to
drive new levels of operational efficiency
and transform the customer experience.
Take operational efficiency alone. The
annual cost of weather-related power
outages to the U.S. economy is estimated
to be between $18 billion to $33 billion2
.
Organizations can use Big Data analytics
to detect operational challenges and
prevent outages, substantially reducing
costs. EPB, an American utility, which
estimated that power outages cost the
local community $100 million, installed
automated fault isolation and service
restoration technology. During a July
2012 storm, automated switching in the
distribution system instantly reduced the

New Opportunities for Business 80% 75%
Percentage of Utilities Agreeing With Statement
More recently, this sentiment has shifted.
Big Data has moved front of mind for
utilities executives. Our end-2014 survey
– which covered 1,000 senior decision-
makers across 10 countries and nine
industries, including utilities – shows that
for the utilities industry segment:
ƒƒ 80% of utilities see Big Data analytics as
a source of new business opportunities
ƒƒ 75% of utilities see Big Data analytics as
crucial for future success (see Figure 1)
3
However, while the industry may now
recognize the potential of Big Data, it
struggles to translate that into action. We
also found that only 20% of utilities have
already implemented Big Data analytics.
There is a significant group (41%) with no
Big Data analytics initiatives (see Figure
2). This compares quite unfavorably with
take-up levels in other sectors.

we examine some of the key areas for
improvement and how organizations are
performing in taking those opportunities.

A Significant Big Data Prize, But Investment
Missing its Target
Advanced Analytics Drives
Operational Efficiency but
Adoption is Low
Analytics can help transform a range of
operational processes. For instance,
analytics helps match power generation
with expected demand, manage peak
load (peak shaving) through variable
pricing, and optimize the integration of
decentralized energy generation. The use
of predictive analytics also helps increase
asset life and performance, while driving
down overall asset maintenance costs. As
PSE&G – Using Analytics to Drive Down
Transformer Replacement Cost
Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G) is one of the largest combined
electric and gas companies in the United States, servicing 1.8 million gas
customers and 2.2 million electric customers. It has assets worth nearly $17bn
and a revenue of nearly $8 billion.
PSE&G implemented a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS)
to assist with repair, replacement and maintenance decisions for assets, including
transformers and other equipment. It used analytics to generate a condition score
for transformers based on multiple factors, such as moisture, dielectric strength,
combustible gas rate of change, and cooling performance. An asset replacement
(predictive) algorithm uses this condition score, and other factors (chronological
age, spare availability) to determine the appropriate time to replace transformers.
PSE&G also employs advanced analytics on real-time sensors to track various
operational metrics. Usage of analytics has helped the company in identifying
problems and remediating issues before a failure, saving millions of dollars in
equipment failure avoidance. The company has also determined that replacing
some transformers proactively (by using analytics models), rather than reactively,
will help it save over $100m over a 25-year period.

San Diego, CA, February 2015
Advanced Big Data
analytics can provide
significant operational
benefits to utilities,
to the tune of $300 per
meter per year.
41% of analytics
initiatives undertaken
are still limited to basic
analytics with reporting
functionality.
an executive at a UK utility explained, “We
have a huge amount of fairly old assets
and we can no longer afford to replace
assets based on their age. We now have
to be a lot more scientific in terms of the
decision we make around what to refresh,
when to refresh, and what to leave. The
only way we could do it is by having
proper predictive analytics to understand
where the problems are going to be and
then tackle those things6
.”
Advanced Big Data analytics (predictive /
real-time) can provide significant operational
benefits to the tune of $300 per meter
per year, as identified by C3 Energy, an
enterprise application software company7
.
Indeed, an initiative taken by Center Point
Energy USA used predictive and real-time
analytics to prevent electricity theft, thereby
saving almost $2 million8
. Similarly, Vestas
Wind Systems, a wind power company in
Denmark, implemented a Big Data solution
to optimize the placement of wind turbines
in order to improve power output and asset
life. This solution enabled Vestas to expand
its wind library – a repository of weather and
turbine data – more than 10 fold. It also
reduced response time for wind forecasting
information by approximately 97% – from
weeks to hours, while reducing energy
consumption by 40%9
. Likewise, PSE&G10
estimated that using predictive analytics
models to perform proactive replacement
of transformers would help bring down
the overall cost of replacement (see insert
below).
Despite the benefits of advanced analytics,
adoption levels appear low. Our analysis
of over 100 utilities, and interviews with
utility industry executives (see research
methodology at the end of the paper),
found that 41% of analytics initiatives
undertaken are still limited to basic analytics
with reporting functionality (see Figure 3).
Analytics Drives Customer
Satisfaction but Initiatives
are Few and Far Between
A key challenge facing utilities is low
customer satisfaction levels. In our
previous paper - So Near Yet so Far: Why
Utilities Need to Re-energize Their Digital
Customer Experience - we took a detailed
look at this issue. The analysis examined
how the customer experience in utilities
is sub-optimal and the significant gap
between what utilities are doing and how
satisfied their customers are11
. Analytics
is an opportunity to enhance utilities’
understanding of consumption patterns,
and improve the customer experience
through a variety of means. These include
providing usage patterns, using predictive
analytics to minimize outages/improve
reliability, and alert customers with usage
spikes among others.

Endesa Uses Analytics to Reduce Churn By 50%
Endesa is a leading electricity dealer and second-largest gas vendor in Spain.
The company wanted to acquire and retain customers in a deregulated and
highly competitive energy market. Implementing an analytics solution helped the
company to segment and better understand its customer base and streamline
campaign management. This in turn helped build customer loyalty and acquire
new customers. Endesa reduced churn by 50% in two years, reduced customer
acquisition costs by 50%, and improved cross-selling. It also furnished Endesa
with a 70% reduction in the time required to design new campaigns and generate
a target customer list.
Source: SAS client case study
Conducting extensive analytics of
consumer sentiment and feedback is
another opportunity. Our earlier research
found that only 26% of customer
mentions on social media on the quality
of communication on outages was
positive12
. Gulf Power’s experience
shows how analytics can address
this. The company used analytics to
establish that, with outages, customer
satisfaction is highest when power is
restored in the 10-minute window before
the initial expected restoration time
that was communicated to customers.
Interestingly, it found that restoring
power more than two hours before the
expected restoration time negatively
affects customer satisfaction13
.
Understanding metrics like this can
help utilities fix their biggest customer
experience challenges.
Improved customer satisfaction leads to
higher retention rates, as an executive at a
German utility major confirmed. “Analytics
lets you contact the customer with
personalized offers on existing contracts.
This definitely improves customer
retention,” he explained. Indeed, utilities
like EDF Energy have used analytics to
reduce customer churn, accruing potential
savings of up to $30 million per year14
.
Similarly, Endesa reduced customer churn
by 50% (see insert below).

We have already outlined how the
customer experience in utilities has
significant weaknesses. You would
therefore assume that this would be a
focus for efforts. However, this is not the
case. Our 2012 research with the MIT
Center for Digital Business also showed
that utility firms were already lagging other
industries in addressing these issues. That
research revealed that roughly half the
firms we surveyed did not use analytics
to target marketing to customers, qualify
sales prospects or optimize pricing16
.
b
We performed a comprehensive analysis of the
analytics initiatives of 100 large utilities across North
America, Europe and Asia Pacific (see research
methodology at the end of the paper). This analysis is
based on publicly available information.
Analytics lets you
contact the customer
with personalized offers
on existing contracts.
This definitely improves
customer retention.
–Executive in European utility
And our current researchb
shows that
this situation persists. We found that two-
thirds of utilities do not have analytics
initiatives focusing primarily on the
customer (see Figure 4).
The lack of customer-focused analytics
initiatives is partly driven by infrastructure
limitations. When utilities are in a nascent
stage of upgrading infrastructure, then it is
difficult to improve areas that have a direct
impact on the customer experience, such
as predictive asset maintenance, which
can improve outage management and
reliability of supply. Another challenge is
that customer service does not appear to
be a key area of responsibility amongst
utility analytics executives. Our research
found that amongst 1,000 respondents
across sectors, utilities had the lowest
(10%) percentage of analytics executives
that had customer service as a main area
of responsibility. This compares quite
unfavorably to the pan-industry average of
25%. More worryingly, less than 3% of utility
analytics executives consider customer
service to be the most significant part of
their role17
.

The analytics opportunity for utilities is
clear, but there continues to be a lack
of real impetus and value delivery. What
is putting the brakes on utilities? The
primary reasons include concern over
high costs and the sheer complexity of
data18
(see Figure 5).
Big Data Creates Big
Storage and Manipulation
Costs
Advanced Metering Infrastructure collects
information multiple times every hour, as
opposed to the monthly measurement that
was the norm. That can translate to, in some
cases, as much as a 3,000-fold increase
in the amount of data utilities would have
processed in the past19
. For a typical
electricity utility, the number of triggers
to data growth and their corresponding
impact on data requirements are massive
(see Figure 6).
The massive increase in installations of
smart meters and the corresponding rise
in data usage will necessitate significant
investment in data storage infrastructure
and information management programs.
Indeed, utility spending on smart grid
infrastructure, of which data centers are key,
is expected to cumulatively total hundreds of
billions in dollars over the next two decades.

Utilities are Struggling with
Data Management
Our research found that more than half of
utility executives cited data management
– a combination of complexity, access
and privacy – as significant challenges20
.
Many respondents were concerned that
Big Data sets were too complex to collect
and store, and required a lot of time for
analysis. In particular, unstructured data
was highlighted as being too difficult to
interpret. The added concern was that
the volume of unstructured data had
increased over the last two years.
Apart from complexity, data access and
privacy issues were also cited as the top
implementation challenge21
. Data access
issues include silos that prevent data
from being pooled for the benefit of the
entire organization, while data privacy
concerns security and confidentiality of
sensitive data.

Big Data Analytics for Utilities – Indicative Use Cases
Big Data and analytics can help utilities improve operational efficiency and customer experience. Operational benefits include
revenue assurance, network and production management, demand forecast, asset management, and optimization of support
functions. Similarly, analytics helps improve customer experience through customer relationship optimization, proactive marketing
and custom offers and services.
Power Surge:How to Ensure Analytics
Drives Business Value
As we have seen, utilities – compared
to other industries – have been slow Big
Data starters. However, the potential
upside, and the achievements of analytics
leaders in the industry, is leading to a sea-
change in attitudes. Utilities are poised
to increase their investment in analytics
from $700 million in 2012 to $3.8 billion
in 202022
.
However, to ensure these investments bear
fruit, organizations need to take a structured
approach. This begins with a realistic
analysis of their analytics maturity levels,
where they want to get to, and what they
want to achieve. That framework gives a
baseline for key investments and initiatives.
Utilities can then identify the right data sets

and the smart systems they need, invest in
the right skills, and put in place the right data
governance model, potentially including
mechanisms such as Chief Data Officer.
Within this structured approach, utilities
should err on the side of pragmatism.
Begin with Small Initiatives
that are Aligned with
Organizational Big
Data Strategy
The first step that utilities need to take is
to understand the “what-for” of their Big
Data initiatives. Given that utilities have
struggled to define the value of initiatives,
they can begin with pilots and proofs of
concepts. These are a very pragmatic
and results-driven way of convincing
management of the viability and value
of analytics initiatives. As an executive
at a European energy trading firm says,
“We implement new analytics packages
in pilots, and use learning from these to
scale up the implementation23
.” Utilities
also need to ensure that they take a “fail-
fast” approach to analytics initiatives. By
only committing small resource levels,
time-boxing the programme and moving
fast, many hypotheses can be tested
without significant business, budget or
project risk.
10
Nearly 44% of utilities
have already introduced
or are in the process of
rolling out customer
data management
systems.
Carry out an Analysis of
Your Current Analytics
Maturity Level and What
You Are Trying to Achieve
Organizations need to begin with a
pragmatic assessment of where they are in
their analytics evolution (see Figure 7). The
aim is to move from basic reporting and
Business Intelligence to the higher-value
opportunities offered by predictive and real-
time analytics. As our research has shown,
most organizations have been focusing
on reporting thus far. Utilities should ask
themselves a series of questions on their
maturity. Do we have well-defined criteria
to evaluate use-cases for selection? Do we
have well-defined and quantitative metrics
to measure the success of our Big Data
initiatives? How well-integrated are our
datasets and have we defined policies and
procedures to ensure high data quality?

For utilities who want to move up the
maturity curve, three areas will be critical:
ƒƒ Investingintherightdatamanagement
tools
ƒƒ Identifying what skills are required and
what is needed to attract, reward and
retain the right skills
ƒƒ Putting in place the data governance
framework needed to manage data,
including integrity of data, data privacy
and security
1. Identify what Data is Needed and the
Data Management Systems Required
to Deliver that. Many utilities have
recognized the importance of smart data
tools. Our research found that nearly 44%
of utilities had already introduced or were
in the process of rolling out customer
data management systems (see Figure
8). Nearly two out of every three utility
executives in North America consider
shrinking the gap between data collection
and data use as a key priority24
.
2. Invest in Skill Development. Analytics
skills are in high demand across industries
and the utility industry is not immune to
the challenge of getting the right skills.
Utilities should use a mix of in-house
training, talent acquisition and partnership
to plug the skills gap. For instance, an
executive at an American utility says, “We
partner with third parties who have a lot
of experience in this space to kind of help
kick off projects and do lead projects25
.

44% of utility industry
executives either did
not know if their
organization was
setting up a CDO
type C-level role, or
confirmed that there
was no immediate
plan to do so.

3. Create an Effective Governance Model
including Mechanisms such as Chief
Data Officer. Effective data governance
will be critical to realizing value from
analytics. This includes having a clear
data management policy and the right
governance approach. Governance can
include data management steering
committees or the appointment of a Chief
Data Officer to oversee data quality and
ensure data is unlocked from different
silos and successfully integrated. Our
research found that utilities lag almost
all other industries in this area. 39% of
utility executives either did not know if
their organization was setting up a CDO
type C-level role, or confirmed that there
was no immediate plan to do so. This
compares unfavorably with other sectors
such as oil & gas (23%) and telco (26%).

Data Powers a New Future
for Utilities
Utilities are at an important cross-
roads in their history. Electric utilities,
in particular, are tackling two major
issues. One is the worldwide push for
renewable sources of energy. Second
is the rapidly declining cost in energy
storage, which brings their business
model into question. Big Data offers an
exciting opportunity to transform utility
operational effectiveness, while at the
same time dealing with the historical
problem of low customer satisfaction.
Big Data also affords opportunities
to utilities for inventing new business
models through the data generated by
the smart infrastructure. Highly efficient
utilities, with a transformed customer
experience, will be in a much stronger
position to tackle the mega-challenges
that face them. It is time for them to inject
some power into their Big Data strategy.

Research Methodology
To understand how leading utilities fare on analytics adoption and usage, Capgemini Consulting studied 100 large utilities
across North America, Europe and Asia Pacific with a turnover of over $1 billion. Nearly 90% of these utilities have revenue in
excess of $4 billion.
In terms of geographical split, 48% of the sample is from North America, 37% from Europe and 15% from Asia Pacific. In
terms of business operation, we looked at utilities across electricity, gas and water. In the sample, 48% are standalone electric
utilities and 1% are present in both electricity and gas.
We studied the analytics initiatives of these utilities available through public sources. The key focus areas include analytical
maturity, effect on value chain, reasons and approach for implementation, and benefits delivered.

Big Data BlackOut: Are Utilities Powering Up Their Data Analytics?

  • 1. Big Data BlackOut: Are Utilities Powering Up Their Data Analytics?
  • 2. 2 Utilities’ Analytics Performance is Under-Powered number of sustained outages by 50%. This innovation, combined with information on customer outage provided by meters, meant EPB reduced total restoration time by 1.5 days, representing almost $1.5 million in operational savings and significantly reduced costs for customers3 . Are utilities grasping these analytics opportunities? In recent years, the industry has appeared hesitant. In 2012, we conducted joint research with the MIT Center for Digital Business to understand the digital maturity of a range of industries. Our study revealed that utilities had low digital maturity and their investment in digital technologies – such as analytics4 – was conservative. Subsequent 2013 research, in partnership with the MIT Sloan Management Review, revealed that 57% of utilities did not consider analytics a major opportunity5 . Big Data in the utilities sector can only get even bigger as the smart transformation of the industry accelerates. It is estimated that 680 million smart meters will be installed globally by 2017 – leading to 280 petabytes of data a year1 . This Big Data surge is an opportunity for utilities to drive new levels of operational efficiency and transform the customer experience. Take operational efficiency alone. The annual cost of weather-related power outages to the U.S. economy is estimated to be between $18 billion to $33 billion2 . Organizations can use Big Data analytics to detect operational challenges and prevent outages, substantially reducing costs. EPB, an American utility, which estimated that power outages cost the local community $100 million, installed automated fault isolation and service restoration technology. During a July 2012 storm, automated switching in the distribution system instantly reduced the Figure 1: Utilities’ Perception of Big Data Analytics N = 41 Source: Capgemini, “Big & Fast Data: The Rise of Insight-Driven Business”, March 2015 Big Data Analytics is Crucial for Future Success Big Data Analytics Provides New Opportunities for Business 80% 75% Percentage of Utilities Agreeing With Statement More recently, this sentiment has shifted. Big Data has moved front of mind for utilities executives. Our end-2014 survey – which covered 1,000 senior decision- makers across 10 countries and nine industries, including utilities – shows that for the utilities industry segment: ƒƒ 80% of utilities see Big Data analytics as a source of new business opportunities ƒƒ 75% of utilities see Big Data analytics as crucial for future success (see Figure 1)
  • 3. 3 However, while the industry may now recognize the potential of Big Data, it struggles to translate that into action. We also found that only 20% of utilities have already implemented Big Data analytics. There is a significant group (41%) with no Big Data analytics initiatives (see Figure 2). This compares quite unfavorably with take-up levels in other sectors. Figure 2: Utilities’ implementation of Big Data Analytics N = 1000 Source: Capgemini, “Big & Fast Data: The Rise of Insight-Driven Business”, March 2015 20% 23% 26% 28% 32% 31% 46% 44% 41% 36% 22% 22% 7% 9% 6% 6%Don’t know Not implemented Big Data analytics Already implemented Big Data analytics Currently implementing Big Data analytics Utilities Financial Services Oil & Gas Telco Only 20% of utilities have already implemented Big Data analytics. If utilities are to step up strategic investments and initiatives, it will require a clear understanding of where long- term value lies. In the following section, we examine some of the key areas for improvement and how organizations are performing in taking those opportunities.
  • 4. 4 A Significant Big Data Prize, But Investment Missing its Target Advanced Analytics Drives Operational Efficiency but Adoption is Low Analytics can help transform a range of operational processes. For instance, analytics helps match power generation with expected demand, manage peak load (peak shaving) through variable pricing, and optimize the integration of decentralized energy generation. The use of predictive analytics also helps increase asset life and performance, while driving down overall asset maintenance costs. As PSE&G – Using Analytics to Drive Down Transformer Replacement Cost Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G) is one of the largest combined electric and gas companies in the United States, servicing 1.8 million gas customers and 2.2 million electric customers. It has assets worth nearly $17bn and a revenue of nearly $8 billion. PSE&G implemented a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) to assist with repair, replacement and maintenance decisions for assets, including transformers and other equipment. It used analytics to generate a condition score for transformers based on multiple factors, such as moisture, dielectric strength, combustible gas rate of change, and cooling performance. An asset replacement (predictive) algorithm uses this condition score, and other factors (chronological age, spare availability) to determine the appropriate time to replace transformers. PSE&G also employs advanced analytics on real-time sensors to track various operational metrics. Usage of analytics has helped the company in identifying problems and remediating issues before a failure, saving millions of dollars in equipment failure avoidance. The company has also determined that replacing some transformers proactively (by using analytics models), rather than reactively, will help it save over $100m over a 25-year period. Source: PSE&G, “Determining True Age of Transformers Through Advanced Analytics”, DistribuTECH San Diego, CA, February 2015 Advanced Big Data analytics can provide significant operational benefits to utilities, to the tune of $300 per meter per year. 41% of analytics initiatives undertaken are still limited to basic analytics with reporting functionality. an executive at a UK utility explained, “We have a huge amount of fairly old assets and we can no longer afford to replace assets based on their age. We now have to be a lot more scientific in terms of the decision we make around what to refresh, when to refresh, and what to leave. The only way we could do it is by having proper predictive analytics to understand where the problems are going to be and then tackle those things6 .” Advanced Big Data analytics (predictive / real-time) can provide significant operational benefits to the tune of $300 per meter per year, as identified by C3 Energy, an enterprise application software company7 . Indeed, an initiative taken by Center Point Energy USA used predictive and real-time analytics to prevent electricity theft, thereby saving almost $2 million8 . Similarly, Vestas Wind Systems, a wind power company in Denmark, implemented a Big Data solution to optimize the placement of wind turbines in order to improve power output and asset life. This solution enabled Vestas to expand its wind library – a repository of weather and turbine data – more than 10 fold. It also reduced response time for wind forecasting information by approximately 97% – from weeks to hours, while reducing energy consumption by 40%9 . Likewise, PSE&G10 estimated that using predictive analytics models to perform proactive replacement of transformers would help bring down the overall cost of replacement (see insert below). Despite the benefits of advanced analytics, adoption levels appear low. Our analysis of over 100 utilities, and interviews with utility industry executives (see research methodology at the end of the paper), found that 41% of analytics initiatives undertaken are still limited to basic analytics with reporting functionality (see Figure 3). Analytics Drives Customer Satisfaction but Initiatives are Few and Far Between A key challenge facing utilities is low customer satisfaction levels. In our previous paper - So Near Yet so Far: Why Utilities Need to Re-energize Their Digital Customer Experience - we took a detailed look at this issue. The analysis examined how the customer experience in utilities is sub-optimal and the significant gap between what utilities are doing and how satisfied their customers are11 . Analytics is an opportunity to enhance utilities’ understanding of consumption patterns, and improve the customer experience through a variety of means. These include providing usage patterns, using predictive analytics to minimize outages/improve reliability, and alert customers with usage spikes among others.
  • 5. 5 Figure 3: Maturity of Analytics Initiatives by Focus Area N = 115 Source: Capgemini Consulting Analysis Predictive Reporting Real-time 26% 33% 41% Endesa Uses Analytics to Reduce Churn By 50% Endesa is a leading electricity dealer and second-largest gas vendor in Spain. The company wanted to acquire and retain customers in a deregulated and highly competitive energy market. Implementing an analytics solution helped the company to segment and better understand its customer base and streamline campaign management. This in turn helped build customer loyalty and acquire new customers. Endesa reduced churn by 50% in two years, reduced customer acquisition costs by 50%, and improved cross-selling. It also furnished Endesa with a 70% reduction in the time required to design new campaigns and generate a target customer list. Source: SAS client case study Conducting extensive analytics of consumer sentiment and feedback is another opportunity. Our earlier research found that only 26% of customer mentions on social media on the quality of communication on outages was positive12 . Gulf Power’s experience shows how analytics can address this. The company used analytics to establish that, with outages, customer satisfaction is highest when power is restored in the 10-minute window before the initial expected restoration time that was communicated to customers. Interestingly, it found that restoring power more than two hours before the expected restoration time negatively affects customer satisfaction13 . Understanding metrics like this can help utilities fix their biggest customer experience challenges. Improved customer satisfaction leads to higher retention rates, as an executive at a German utility major confirmed. “Analytics lets you contact the customer with personalized offers on existing contracts. This definitely improves customer retention,” he explained. Indeed, utilities like EDF Energy have used analytics to reduce customer churn, accruing potential savings of up to $30 million per year14 . Similarly, Endesa reduced customer churn by 50% (see insert below). EDF Energy used analytics to reduce customer churn, accruing potential savings of up to $30 million per year.
  • 6. 6 Figure 4: Analytics Initiatives, % of Utilities N = 100 Source: Capgemini Consulting Analysis Note: Percentage of all utilities in our research that have launched analytics initiatives. The categories of initiatives are mutually exclusive. Less than 10% of utilities respondents believe that customer service is a key area of responsibility. Operations Marketing/Customer Service Data Management 58% 21% 8% 13% Operations & Marketing/Customer Service We have already outlined how the customer experience in utilities has significant weaknesses. You would therefore assume that this would be a focus for efforts. However, this is not the case. Our 2012 research with the MIT Center for Digital Business also showed that utility firms were already lagging other industries in addressing these issues. That research revealed that roughly half the firms we surveyed did not use analytics to target marketing to customers, qualify sales prospects or optimize pricing16 . b We performed a comprehensive analysis of the analytics initiatives of 100 large utilities across North America, Europe and Asia Pacific (see research methodology at the end of the paper). This analysis is based on publicly available information. Analytics lets you contact the customer with personalized offers on existing contracts. This definitely improves customer retention. –Executive in European utility And our current researchb shows that this situation persists. We found that two- thirds of utilities do not have analytics initiatives focusing primarily on the customer (see Figure 4). The lack of customer-focused analytics initiatives is partly driven by infrastructure limitations. When utilities are in a nascent stage of upgrading infrastructure, then it is difficult to improve areas that have a direct impact on the customer experience, such as predictive asset maintenance, which can improve outage management and reliability of supply. Another challenge is that customer service does not appear to be a key area of responsibility amongst utility analytics executives. Our research found that amongst 1,000 respondents across sectors, utilities had the lowest (10%) percentage of analytics executives that had customer service as a main area of responsibility. This compares quite unfavorably to the pan-industry average of 25%. More worryingly, less than 3% of utility analytics executives consider customer service to be the most significant part of their role17 .
  • 7. 7 Figure 5: Top Challenges for Utilities in Implementing Big Data Analytics Challenges are identified based on responses of surveyed utility executives. The figure represents the percentage of respondents who voted for the challenge as being the most important impediment to analytics implementation. N = 41 Source: Capgemini, “Big & Fast Data: The Rise of Insight-Driven Business”, March 2015 Big Data Outage:What is Holding Back Utilities? Advanced Metering Infrastructure collects information that can translate to as much as a 3,000-fold increase in the amount of data. 8% 13% 13% 18% 23% 26% Lack of management support Skill shortage Data privacy issues Data access issues Data complexity High data storage & manipulation costs Data Management The analytics opportunity for utilities is clear, but there continues to be a lack of real impetus and value delivery. What is putting the brakes on utilities? The primary reasons include concern over high costs and the sheer complexity of data18 (see Figure 5). Big Data Creates Big Storage and Manipulation Costs Advanced Metering Infrastructure collects information multiple times every hour, as opposed to the monthly measurement that was the norm. That can translate to, in some cases, as much as a 3,000-fold increase in the amount of data utilities would have processed in the past19 . For a typical electricity utility, the number of triggers to data growth and their corresponding impact on data requirements are massive (see Figure 6). The massive increase in installations of smart meters and the corresponding rise in data usage will necessitate significant investment in data storage infrastructure and information management programs. Indeed, utility spending on smart grid infrastructure, of which data centers are key, is expected to cumulatively total hundreds of billions in dollars over the next two decades.

Many respondents were concerned that Big Data sets were too complex to collect and store, and required a lot of time for analysis. In particular, unstructured data was highlighted as being too difficult to interpret. The added concern was that the volume of unstructured data had increased over the last two years. Apart from complexity, data access and privacy issues were also cited as the top implementation challenge21 . Data access issues include silos that prevent data from being pooled for the benefit of the entire organization, while data privacy concerns security and confidentiality of sensitive data.
  • 9. 9 Big Data Analytics for Utilities – Indicative Use Cases Big Data and analytics can help utilities improve operational efficiency and customer experience. Operational benefits include revenue assurance, network and production management, demand forecast, asset management, and optimization of support functions. Similarly, analytics helps improve customer experience through customer relationship optimization, proactive marketing and custom offers and services. Power Surge:How to Ensure Analytics Drives Business Value As we have seen, utilities – compared to other industries – have been slow Big Data starters. However, the potential upside, and the achievements of analytics leaders in the industry, is leading to a sea- change in attitudes. Utilities are poised to increase their investment in analytics from $700 million in 2012 to $3.8 billion in 202022 . However, to ensure these investments bear fruit, organizations need to take a structured approach. This begins with a realistic analysis of their analytics maturity levels, where they want to get to, and what they want to achieve. That framework gives a baseline for key investments and initiatives. Utilities can then identify the right data sets Marketing and Customer Care Operations Offer and services Support function optimization Asset management Network and production management Demand forecast Revenue assurance Customer relationship optimization Supply chain Real-time asset performance monitoring Predictive maintenance Energy consumption forecasts Trading optimization Electricity load optimization Capacity planning (including renewable energy) Fraud detection Network loss prevention Tariff optimization Services: energy management tools, smart home Customer base management Brand & communication (e-listening, web analytics, media campaign optimization) Customer base management Brand & communication (e-listening, web analytics, media campaign optimization) Proactive marketing and the smart systems they need, invest in the right skills, and put in place the right data governance model, potentially including mechanisms such as Chief Data Officer. Within this structured approach, utilities should err on the side of pragmatism. Begin with Small Initiatives that are Aligned with Organizational Big Data Strategy The first step that utilities need to take is to understand the “what-for” of their Big Data initiatives. Given that utilities have struggled to define the value of initiatives, they can begin with pilots and proofs of concepts. These are a very pragmatic and results-driven way of convincing management of the viability and value of analytics initiatives. As an executive at a European energy trading firm says, “We implement new analytics packages in pilots, and use learning from these to scale up the implementation23 .” Utilities also need to ensure that they take a “fail- fast” approach to analytics initiatives. By only committing small resource levels, time-boxing the programme and moving fast, many hypotheses can be tested without significant business, budget or project risk.
  • 10. 10 Nearly 44% of utilities have already introduced or are in the process of rolling out customer data management systems. Carry out an Analysis of Your Current Analytics Maturity Level and What You Are Trying to Achieve Organizations need to begin with a pragmatic assessment of where they are in their analytics evolution (see Figure 7). The aim is to move from basic reporting and Business Intelligence to the higher-value opportunities offered by predictive and real- time analytics. As our research has shown, most organizations have been focusing on reporting thus far. Utilities should ask themselves a series of questions on their maturity. Do we have well-defined criteria to evaluate use-cases for selection? Do we have well-defined and quantitative metrics to measure the success of our Big Data initiatives? How well-integrated are our datasets and have we defined policies and procedures to ensure high data quality? Figure 7: Analytics Application Areas by Maturity Source: Capgemini Consulting Analysis Predictive Real-TimeReporting & BI Outage Reporting Customer Profiling Regulatory Reports Network Loss Analysis Events Pattern Analysis Inventory Management Theft and Fraud Analysis Phase Detection Asset Reliability Modelling Predictive Asset Maintenance Tariff Modelling and Simulation Inventory Management Network Impact of Embedded Generation Demand Forecasting Distributed System Planning ReportNetwork Consumption Trend Analysis Load Balancing Self-Healing Grid Voltage Regulation Outage Management Consumption Forecast Intelligent Task Scheduling Fault Detection and Troubleshooting Customer Power Consumption Management Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 For utilities who want to move up the maturity curve, three areas will be critical: ƒƒ Investingintherightdatamanagement tools ƒƒ Identifying what skills are required and what is needed to attract, reward and retain the right skills ƒƒ Putting in place the data governance framework needed to manage data, including integrity of data, data privacy and security 1. Identify what Data is Needed and the Data Management Systems Required to Deliver that. Many utilities have recognized the importance of smart data tools. Our research found that nearly 44% of utilities had already introduced or were in the process of rolling out customer data management systems (see Figure 8). Nearly two out of every three utility executives in North America consider shrinking the gap between data collection and data use as a key priority24 . 2. Invest in Skill Development. Analytics skills are in high demand across industries and the utility industry is not immune to the challenge of getting the right skills. Utilities should use a mix of in-house training, talent acquisition and partnership to plug the skills gap. For instance, an executive at an American utility says, “We partner with third parties who have a lot of experience in this space to kind of help kick off projects and do lead projects25 .
  • 11. 11 44% of utility industry executives either did not know if their organization was setting up a CDO type C-level role, or confirmed that there was no immediate plan to do so. Figure 8: Investments in Customer Data Management Systems N = 41 Source: Capgemini, “Big & Fast Data: The Rise of Insight-Driven Business”, March 2015 3. Create an Effective Governance Model including Mechanisms such as Chief Data Officer. Effective data governance will be critical to realizing value from analytics. This includes having a clear data management policy and the right governance approach. Governance can include data management steering committees or the appointment of a Chief Data Officer to oversee data quality and ensure data is unlocked from different silos and successfully integrated. Our research found that utilities lag almost all other industries in this area. 39% of utility executives either did not know if their organization was setting up a CDO type C-level role, or confirmed that there was no immediate plan to do so. This compares unfavorably with other sectors such as oil & gas (23%) and telco (26%). We have already done so We are in the process of doing so We are yet to do so, but plan to in the next 12 months We are yet to do so but plan to do so in more than 12 months’ time We have no plans to do so Don’t know 29% 37% 7% 5% 20% 2% Data Powers a New Future for Utilities Utilities are at an important cross- roads in their history. Electric utilities, in particular, are tackling two major issues. One is the worldwide push for renewable sources of energy. Second is the rapidly declining cost in energy storage, which brings their business model into question. Big Data offers an exciting opportunity to transform utility operational effectiveness, while at the same time dealing with the historical problem of low customer satisfaction. Big Data also affords opportunities to utilities for inventing new business models through the data generated by the smart infrastructure. Highly efficient utilities, with a transformed customer experience, will be in a much stronger position to tackle the mega-challenges that face them. It is time for them to inject some power into their Big Data strategy.
  • 12. 12 Research Methodology To understand how leading utilities fare on analytics adoption and usage, Capgemini Consulting studied 100 large utilities across North America, Europe and Asia Pacific with a turnover of over $1 billion. Nearly 90% of these utilities have revenue in excess of $4 billion. In terms of geographical split, 48% of the sample is from North America, 37% from Europe and 15% from Asia Pacific. In terms of business operation, we looked at utilities across electricity, gas and water. In the sample, 48% are standalone electric utilities and 1% are present in both electricity and gas. We studied the analytics initiatives of these utilities available through public sources. The key focus areas include analytical maturity, effect on value chain, reasons and approach for implementation, and benefits delivered.
