Energy retailers must evolve sustainably and digitally

Experts Martin Aylward from EDF, Titiaan Palazzi from Snowflake, and Dr Kristof Schum from AWS, share technology insights driving energy retail sustainably

The energy landscape sees an incredible shift from historic ways of working and is now able to leverage digitisation to accelerate a transition to decarbonise power. 

Facing the noise, data and analytics are both key to understanding this transformation, which is where energy retailers are urged to focus their attention and, in return, become more profitable through smarter—digital—operations. 

Some of the key topics to be considered in this conversations are as follows: 

  • How energy sellers can harness technology to refine their electric demand predictions, tailor pricing per individual client, and guarantee much faster, more precise financial reporting
  • How to construct a holistic customer experience and determine how can energy providers can enhance customer service using AI-driven chatbots, automated calling, and enable specific recommendations for each client case 
  • How businesses can promote sustainable innovation through technology, which presents new opportunities to customers, including electrification of vehicles, residential heat pumps and other renewable energy systems, or round-the-clock green energy for corporate consumption

Sign up to Energy Retailing for a Changing World 

Discussing these very topics are three of the industry’s experts with a focus on energy retailers and their approaches to an evolving network of ideas and technologies that could provide new and exciting opportunities. 

On the 28th September 2023, virtual attendees will hear from three guest speakers in the webinar ‘Energy Retailing for a Changing World’, and provide food for thought with technology and sustainability at the forefront. Of the conversation.

Who will we learn this from exactly? These three speakers will share their thoughts to educate energy providers on their perspectives of the transition.
