Capgemini US Utilities Survey

Following on from my comments about industry sectors yesterday, Capgemini has carried out a survey of US utilities executives which reveals, as one would expect, that the top two issues are the environment and regulation.

Nearly all those asked said that the focus on the environment had increased last year. Concerns about regulation (which in themselves will reflect environmental concerns) were to do with the cost of compliance and also the additional costs of using renewable resources.

You can get a copy of the survey here - Platts/Capgemini Utilities Executive Study. This is a sector that's aware of the issues it faces and is going to need lots of help. I just wish Capgemini was more forthcoming about its own Green IT plans.
