In our present energy environment, we're witnessing a significant shift from conventional fossil fuels to renewable sources—changes significantly driven by data. Even though green technology has been around for some time, it's only recently reached cost equilibrium. Furthermore, with digital connectivity, we're now able to adjust to changing weather conditions impacting supply and demand in real-time. 
 

So, the question becomes: how can forward-thinking energy organizations leverage these advancements? How can they embrace the opportunities ushered in by the '3 D's—decentralization, decarbonization, and digitalization—and apply these at scale?   



With the appropriate tools and technology accessible, we believe these transformations offer more than challenges; they bring significant opportunities for innovation and growth. 



Hear three Credera energy experts (Benjamin Gilbert, Managing Director based in London, Aaron Grotzinger, Partner based in Houston, and Mike Duffy, Principal Architect based in Houston) discuss this topic in greater depth.
