What EY Digital grid consulting can do for you

How digital grid services drives more than technology

Around the world, the biggest challenge faced by utilities right now is transitioning to a digital energy world. But the radical changes and new capabilities required to transform successfully are simply overwhelming for many energy companies. This is why EY has developed Digital Grid Solutions (DGS), a flexible suite of services that supports utilities through every aspect of their digital transformation. DGS is based on EY’s experience of more than 50 smart meter and digital grid projects and built on Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform, ensuring utilities can be confident that its insights and its technological power are world-leading. 

DGS’s key differentiator from other solutions is its business-centric, agile approach. It targets the key business problems faced by clients to deliver fast results while reaping maximum value from technology investment. And EY’s flexible commercial models mean that utilities can leverage both capex and opex funding to both set up and operate DGS. DGS can be tailored to any utility and plugged in quickly, reducing downtime and disruption. It’s scalable and future proof, allowing utilities to quickly build new services based on emerging technologies. In this way, DGS is designed to solve the immediate operational challenges of the digital grid while positioning utilities for future success in a new energy world.
