The big data revolution in energy

THE disruptive forces of Big Data, software, and analytics are creating seismic shifts in the traditionally hardware-dominated energy sector and beyond.

The transformation affects the entire energy value-chain, from finding energy faster and producing it more inexpensively in the upstream, to more customised energy at the downstream user level, almost as if energy becomes un-commoditised.

With this shift, current business models in many sectors could become obsolete.
