THE ENERGY & UTILITIES SECTOR IS UNDERGOING A PROFOUND SHIFT PRESENTING UNIQUE OPPORTUNITIES FOR DIFFERENTIATION AND ORGANIC GROWTH

Renewable Energy Integration:

As the energy market moves toward renewable sources like solar and wind power, utilities need advanced software solutions to integrate these intermittent sources into the grid. Hansen's expertise in meter data management and billing systems aids utilities in efficiently managing and monetising renewable energy assets.

Smart Grid Technologies:

The energy sector is increasingly adopting smart grid technologies, including smart meters and advanced analytics, with emerging solutions like peer-to-peer trading and community batteries. Hansen's software solutions integrate with these technologies to improve grid efficiency, reduce operational costs, and enhance customer engagement.

Energy Efficiency and Demand Response:

Utilities are prioritising energy efficiency programs, virtual power plants, and demand response initiatives to optimise energy consumption. Hansen's customer care and billing solutions support these efforts by providing real-time data and analytics, helping customers make informed decisions about their energy usage.

==> picture [97 x 96] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [97 x 97] intentionally omitted <==

Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Infrastructure: The rise of electric vehicles offers new revenue opportunities for utilities. Community charging and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) initiatives are becoming popular. Hansen supports utilities in managing EV charging infrastructure, including billing, customer management, and integrating EV charging with renewable energy sources to reduce carbon emissions.

Regulatory Compliance:

The energy market faces complex regulatory requirements, especially for environmental standards and data privacy. Hansen's software solutions help utilities comply with these regulations, minimising risk and ensuring legal operation. Hansen has partnered with ONLINE Information Services to provide an integrated, real-time credit risk assessment and Red Flag compliance tool.

Future of Electrification and Energy Management: The shift towards full electrification and Home Energy Management Systems (HEMS) involves logistical challenges in integrating apps and devices while ensuring accurate monitoring. Hansen's AI-Optimised Power Trading solution automates trading, balance, settlement, and billing operations seamlessly.

WITH THE CONVERGENCE OF COMMUNICATIONS, TECHNOLOGY, AND MEDIA SECTORS, HANSEN IS CAPITALISING ON OUR CROSS-INDUSTRY EXPERTISE

5G and IoT Expansion:

The rollout of 5G networks and the proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices create opportunities for Hansen to provide billing and customer management solutions for new services, such as IoT connectivity and edge computing.

Digital Transformation:

The push for telcos to adopt a technology-driven approach requires them to be agile and capable of experimenting with new market offerings. At Hansen, we provide CSPs with the tools and capabilities to achieve commercial agility, enabling them to rapidly respond to market changes through data-driven decision-making.

Convergence of Services:

With the convergence of telecommunications, media, and technology sectors, Hansen is capitalising on our cross-industry expertise to offer integrated solutions that meet the evolving needs of converged service providers.

Data Monetisation:

As communications providers collect vast amounts of data, Hansen's analytics and data management solutions can help them extract valuable insights for targeted marketing, network optimisation, and service innovation.

Regulatory Compliance:

The communications market is subject to strict regulatory requirements, particularly regarding data privacy and security. Hansen's solutions are designed to help providers comply with these regulations, ensuring data protection and legal compliance.

Thought leadership:

The market is seeking best in breed modular solutions and thought leadership in their transition. Hansen has joined forces with Dutch CSP Odido Nederland and Gomibo Platforms for a pioneering project aimed at monetising 6G technology funded by the National Growth Fund of the Netherlands.

Opportunity for Utilities require market share innovative software increase and support

Upgrades needed to manage smart meter rollout

Highly diverse and Economies of scale regulated market

Competitors :

A few large players dominate the market. With the rollout of smart meters and SAP ending support for their legacy product many Distribution System Operators (DSO) / Stadtwerke are being forced to make an investment decision for their billing systems

Substitute products : As mission critical software it can take many years to migrate across and the investment decision timeline is usually long.

New Entrants:

Energy billing systems, require substantial industry-specific knowledge and compliance with regulatory standards. This creates significant barriers to entry.

DSO / Stadtwerke: Suppliers and Synergies: With over 1,200 retailers and Hansen can leverage existing the push towards Distributed supplier relationships and its Energy Resources, Renewables high quality lower cost and Smart Meters the market operating centres to improve needs new, modern, highly bargaining power and reduce flexible providers. costs.
