NETWORK / 19 / FEBRUARY 2017 Key technologies Ten technologies are fundamentally changing the shape and look of the utilities sector. These include technologies and innovations that are already a key part of utilities' daily operations, and those whose influence and impact is only going to grow in the coming years. Over the coming months we'll speak to experts in these technologies, look at examples of how they have been rolled out and assess the impact they've had, look at the numbers behind the innovations, and get investor views on the development of the technologies and how close they are to transforming 'business as usual' operation in the sector. Key people Ten individuals have embraced innovation and change in their respective companies, across the sector, and more widely. They are the leaders in the transformation the utilities are undergoing towards becoming more flexible, sustainable and suitable for the new world we're all heading towards. Over the coming months we'll speak to the top 10 people, speak to people in the industry about the influence and impact they've had, and publish biographies detailing their careers and key decisions. Driving this change in culture are a number of people, whilst a combination of key technologies will enable and shape utilities' transformation and increasing flexibility. In the run up to Utility Week Live 2017 – the annual flagship utilities event – Network plus sister brands Utility Week, Water & Wastewater Treatment and WET News, will look in depth at the top 10 individuals and technologies transforming utilities, as voted for by the industry themselves.
