93% of utilities report data investments deliver more value than expected, aiding grid management and operations.

A recent study by Itron reveals that 93% of utilities have leveraged their data and intelligence investments for multiple uses beyond their original intent, enhancing grid operations like outage management and predictive maintenance. Utilities face growing pressures from load growth and rising customer expectations, prompting priorities in enterprise integration, decision support, and workflow automation over the next three years. Despite broad use of data, many utilities struggle with fully embedding intelligence into daily operations due to technical integration and automation challenges. The report highlights the ongoing shift towards connecting data insights directly to operational decisions to improve grid reliability and efficiency.

The Itron Global Study on utilities' data investments provides context for readers interested in the sector. For readers following utilities, here is Pluang's market snapshot as of Oct 19, 2026 20:02 WIB: out of 40 priced Utilities-sector US stocks tradable on Pluang, 10 rose and 20 fell today.
