The 7 Ways in which European Utilities Companies are Converting Big Data into Business Value

LONDON, August 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

According to a recent Economist Intelligence Unit Survey, three out of four of European utilities expect the volume of data to grow by 25% over the next three years.

With the volume of data from various sources set to grow at such a vast rate, it's also a risk. Especially when almost 50% of the same survey respondents admitted that they do not "maximise the value of data they collect."

Ahead of the Big Data & Analytics for Utilities conference, the PEX Network editorial team explored 7 ways in which European energy companies are making use of their big data assets and are reaping the rewards for it. Find out about how to forecast peaks in demand, monitor for outages or network problems and optimising asset maintenance costs.
