Analyst’s Brief: Building an Energy-Sharing Economy
The Challenge
IT modernization hasn’t been a central focus for utility companies and energy providers, but the digital transformation wave that has swept through many industry sectors has increased opportunities to move beyond legacy systems. With the growth of microgrids, renewable sources of energy, and smart grid initiatives, energy companies are looking for guidance as to how to reshape their business models.
The Solution
Lightspeed Publishing collaborated with Gartner, Red Hat, and Intel to create a comprehensive analyst’s brief that discusses how to develop a dynamic framework for an energy-sharing economy. Advanced Internet of Things (IoT) and AI technologies can be combined to monitor, price, and exchange surplus from prosumers, harnessing wind, solar, and geothermal technology to deliver energy back into the energy market. The project included developing the content for the Intel and Red Hat technology offerings into the Gartner research findings, sourcing images, and coordinating review activity with subject matter experts at all three companies.
