In a context of unprecedented economic growth and technological advances, global electricity consumption continues to increase, and the energy sector faces the challenge of guaranteeing a constant supply while modernizing and strengthening its infrastructure. In this context, and with the arrival of December, Kyndryl has presented its predictions for energy companies in 2025.
According to a survey conducted by the company, 75% of energy sector leaders admit to having difficulties adapting to rapid technological changes. Although 87% of managers are confident in the quality of their current infrastructure, only 32% feel prepared to manage future risks, such as cyberattacks or network outages.
The energy sector in 2025
By 2025, Kyndryl identifies three key areas of technology investment:
- Innovation in distributed energy resources (DER): Technologies such as advanced batteries and solar panels installed near consumption points will allow for a more efficient and optimized energy supply.
- Strengthening cybersecurity: With the increase in cyberattacks on critical infrastructures, companies will focus their strategies on protecting their operating systems and anticipating possible adverse scenarios.
- Strategic use of artificial intelligence: Solutions such as smart grids and AI-based data centers will be essential to optimize energy flow, anticipate climate risks and improve grid stability.
75% of leaders in the energy sector acknowledge having difficulties adapting to such rapid technological changes and although 87% of managers trust the quality of their current infrastructures
The future of the energy sector goes through a profound technological transformation, where innovation will be key to guaranteeing an efficient, safe and stable supply. With global challenges such as climate change and increasing demand for electricity, businesses’ ability to adapt will be crucial to their success. Technology managers in the sector will have to balance their investments between new technologies and the modernization of obsolete systems.
In this context, Kyndryl positions itself as a strategic ally, helping organizations prepare for future challenges. Currently, it collaborates with a major electrical distributor to accelerate the integration of distributed energy resources on the grid. Through a cloud platform, the company facilitates the management of electrical capacity, allowing new energy generation and storage solutions to be integrated in an agile and efficient manner.
In addition, the company works with companies such as Elawan Energy, Saras Energía, UK Power Networks, Zumtobel Group, TAQA Arabia and Bord Gáis Energy in the management and modernization of their technological infrastructures to guarantee greater flexibility and security in the management of their energy services. .
