Energy and Utilities companies face two major challenges in the coming decades: the global demand for power, which is increasing at an unprecedented rate, and the need for cleaner sources of energy to help mitigate climate change. Consumers and other stakeholders often have strong feelings about these issues and expect to have a say in when, where, and how investments are made. To manage the many, often conflicting interests and find solutions that everyone can live with, organizations will need to rely heavily on SRM best practices.
