Overview
This Energy Insights report discusses a phone survey on North American utilities conducted by Energy Insights to determine their attitudes toward green and sustainability initiatives. The key focus of the survey was to understand management and organization to achieve compliance, current investment in green, actions taken to mitigate environmental risk, current offerings to customers to help them go green, senior management perceptions of green, green measures of performance, key business drivers for implementing a green program, and the role of IT in going green, including expected return on green investment.
According to Jill Feblowitz, practice director, Business Technology and Lead Analyst for Energy Wholesale Strategies, "Utilities are investing heavily in green initiatives with investment ($10 million or more) in renewable energy sources such as wind and solar, smart metering initiatives, and energy efficiency programs for customers. Utilities have indicated that they will spend money on IT for green, but they do not expect their IT budgets to increase. Energy Insights expects that money will come from other business units or from cuts in other initiatives."
