Utilities are in the midst of a paradigm shift to automate systems by integrating information management technologies with grid operations. Communications technologies are central to this System Automation movement: Automatic Meter Reading (AMR), Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), Supply Automation, and Supply Control and Optimization applications that are enabled by advanced communications will help utilities to cut costs, maximize assets, and improve customer service and power reliability.

This dramatic change in the business environment offers tremendous opportunity for utilities, but the task is large and complex, and the risks are great. Utilities need long-term technology planning that accounts for each utility’s circumstances, is built on sound business cases, and takes into account all stakeholders involved. UTC and the Shpigler Group produced this report to help guide energy and water utility managers through the critical investment cycle that will dominate at least the next two decades.
