There is so much else going on in the world of smart…

How has the utility sector around the world been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic? What have the implications been for it on a social, economic and technical level? We spoke to representatives from utilities around the world and asked them what coping mechanisms have been put in place to make sure the needs of employees and customers remain served. What are the financial implications of the pande…

We examine the changing expectations of consumers and the responses from utilities. To this end, many are adopting cloud-based technologies or embracing software-as-a-service offerings in order to more rapidly deploy services and offerings to customers at scale.

Our first edition of 2020 kicks off a year of amazing content, with a dedicated focus on DISTRIBUTECH 2020 and a spotlight on that ever-important topic of cybersecurity. We include interviews with leaders in the field of cybersecurity, including Tobias Whitney, EPRI and Eric Trapp, SEMPRA Energy.

Data is the new water. It’s everywhere, floods of the stuff: but it is only any good if you know which information has value and which is just a puddle of data. Then you need to collect it, filter it and ‘bottle’ it. And then can it be used to slake our thirst for innovation.

With so much new and exciting in the energy delivery space, DISTRIBUTECH is a must-attend for anyone who works with energy on the distribution side of the grid. Here’s a quick look at what to expect in San Antonio this year

The majority of this edition is dedicated to all things European Utility Week. And what a Utility Week it promises to be! Held in the beautiful city of Paris, this year’s event is chock-full of innovation, young talent, projects galore, utility insights and so much more! And we are showcasing some of these projects, people or organisations in this edition of Smart Energy International.

European Utility Week and POWERGEN Europe, the three day event that spotlights every part of the energy ecosystem, is in Paris! The extensive and diverse three-day Summit programme will deep dive into the trends and future direction of each aspect of the sector – from generation to grid to end-users.

From this edition, we will be featuring print elements of Power Engineering International inside the Smart Energy International magazine. The synergies between the two publications are obvious and will bring a wider scope of interesting content to our key utility audiences, while continuing to remain true to our focus areas.

Our special report in this edition covers the ongoing importance of data in the utility space, and examines how data will continue to be foundational in the cities of the future if we can get the most challenging part of our data journey correct.

In our special report on cybersecurity we consider some of the challenges faced by utilities – both big and small when it comes to this topic. Specifically, we ask: Why are utilities lagging behind when it comes to cybersecurity?

The journey to cost savings – the ComEd experience David Doherty, director AMI Operations, Engineering & Analytics at ComEd, discusses their smart meter rollout, customer engagement and what the next phase of this programme is likely to include.
