Accelerating the transition towards sustainable
energy
The energy sector is undergoing a massive transformation on a
global scale, from fossil energy to a renewable energy system, and
from commodity to a Digital services sector. To tap into the
potential of new technologies and address sustainability themes,
utilities require a new business strategy. Capgemini has developed
an offering to help energy companies transform, from “U” as Utility
to “ES” as Energy Services (U2ES) – a utility company into an
energy services company.
As a strategic innovation partner of Capgemini in this field, Eneco,
the leading Dutch energy company has been fully focused on
sustainability in the last decade. Next to investing in renewable
energy, Eneco has introduced smart energy solutions to its
customers. A key example is the
Toon
, Eneco’s smart thermostat
and smart home solution which provides tangible insight in, and
control over, energy consumption.
Eneco, its subsidiary Quby and Capgemini have partnered to
make the
Toon
available to other utility companies, thereby
helping to accelerate the energy transition. Leveraging the

Consulting is involved in driving the joint go-to-market including
fulfillment scale up preparations. Building on Eneco’s initial
success, the partnership will create a global ecosystem that will
be a powerful enabler for reducing energy consumption and for
other smart and sustainable energy solutions around homes and
offices such as electric mobility, solar power and energy storage.

and the energy transition. Projects such as Descartes 21 (Marne la
Vallée, France) will industrialize the design and implementation of
connected platforms that will enable the transformation to more
sustainable and resilient cities. The project organization involves
representatives from the city council, operators, energy suppliers
and citizens who cooperate on the design of new use cases and
business models for the global city ecosystem. Capgemini
provides the technology that enables smart cities to plan, manage
Capgemini is involved in public-private consortia that accelerate
the deployment of innovative platforms to support citizen services
and control multi-energy systems, and the platforms that connect
public equipment in order to enhance operational efficiency and
reduce energy consumption.
Reducing water consumption using Capgemini's
analytics platforms
some very encouraging results for a large UK water companies.
The platform is proven to: detect 84% of leaks, be right 72% of
the time and alert a leak 21 days earlier than the current average.
Water companies have already made great progress in reducing
leakage, but innovation in the ways it is managed going forward is
critical if we are to deal with water scarcity and the demand
balance while reducing service costs. An essential enabler for
meeting this requirement is business-driven analytics: insights that

narrowing the search area to find and fix it as quickly as possible.
It also helps in allocating capital expenditure to vulnerable

Typically, today’s systems analyze the “as-is” position within a
building. Together with some historic data, this enables an
feedback loop. This rapidity of reaction provided by the real-time
bidirectional control of energy management enables the
fine-tuning of the system at a rate faster than that which can be
achieved with human intervention, significantly increasing the
engineer to monitor the system via a terminal, with the intention of
recognizing any anomalies and resolving them in as efficient a
manner as possible via human interaction. Capgemini’s approach
is to collect far more data regarding the energy profile of an estate,
link it with other data sets – such as weather and real-time
occupation statistics – to make adjustments through a direct
efficiency with which energy usage is optimized, leading in turn to
significant extra savings.
