The folks at Utility Dive recently conducted its first annual survey of 500+ US utility professionals, “The State of the Electric Utility.” Overall findings? Utility insiders see the industry changing considerably over the coming decade, with a particular focus on greening the grid.

- 70% of utilities already offer or plan to offer dynamic pricing to customer within the next five years.
- 54% of utilities say they face stakeholder pressure to supply cleaner and more sustainable energy.
