At the 2019 ADI Forum, James Steffes, EVP of Corporate Affairs at Direct Energy, shared his insights on the evolving power and utility landscape. He highlighted eight major trends transforming the sector, including the shift from centralized to distributed energy systems, the digitalization of energy solutions, and the rapid advancements in solar, wind, and battery technologies. While natural gas continues to dominate, the focus is now on the electrification of transportation and industrial processes. The panel also addressed the growing energy demand in OECD countries and emphasized the increasing importance of a customer-centric approach, where individual choices will drive future energy solutions. These trends are shaping the next 15–20 years of energy transformation.
