Nordic utilities in Sweden, Norway, and Finland have built strong data foundations, using analytics for multiple grid operations amid rising load growth, customer demands, and distributed energy resources (DERs). While 87% report their data investments support multiple use cases, 60% cite lack of automation as the main barrier to fully operationalizing insights. Over the next three years, priorities include cloud analytics, executive decision support, and enterprise integration to enhance automation and decision-making.
