What’s driving energy and utilities executives’ top priorities?

Energy Transition Talks

In this episode of our Energy Transition Talks podcast series, Frederic Lesieur and Peter Warren discuss insights from CGI Voice of Our Clients (VOC) interviews with 167 energy and utilities executives this year. They explore a variety of topics, including the energy transition and the impact of macro trends such as climate change, as well as the importance of cybersecurity, change management and innovation.

Climate change is evident, and energy and utilities organizations are key actors in achieving net-zero objectives. Embracing a culture of sustainability is critical to their own success and to their ability to serve customers who are demanding greener energy. According to Frederic Lesieur, this is the first element of the energy transition.

The second element he says is how we consume energy. Today, customers increasingly want to be part of the solution and are looking for ways to be more energy efficient . "I think it needs to be top of mind for C-level executives in the industry that they may engage their customers in this journey," suggests Lesieur.

This year in our VOC interviews, the highest number of executives who view sustainability as highly core to creating future value are in oil and gas (77%), followed by transportation (75%), utilities (63%) and manufacturing (74%).
