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.

Some of the overall findings included:

  • 95% anticipate that their utility’s regulatory model will change over the next 10 years, and 57% believe it will change significantly.
  • 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.

There are a ton of interesting findings in the report, which you may download for free here. Here are just a few that stood out to me:
