Empowering business teams for high-efficiency and effectiveness

Finance in the Energy Transition Era — Breakfast Roundtable

How to Recover Decarbonization Investments Quickly

Regulated utilities will request record CAPEX expenditures to decarbonize their generation fleets and harden T&D infrastructure in the lead-up to net zero by 2050. Regulators will want assurances that the revenue requirement is prudent while keeping electric rates affordable.

This can be a challenge because utilities' asset and financial data is spread across multiple disparate systems, is poorly integrated, and has lots of data lag — all threatening rate recovery.

But now, you can do all your asset accounting in SAP. Finance4U is an S/4HANA add-on that allows utilities to:

Track physical and financial assets in real-time for greater access and accuracy
Simplify your technology infrastructure
Eliminate third-party systems, and the data latency and cost that accompanies them
Return cash to your utility quicker

Date/Time: Wednesday, October 11 I 8:00 - 9:00 am

Location: Utegration Meeting Room – Gold Coast, Third Floor

As the utility industry moves further from its historically back-office orientation toward a business model that is digitally based, customer-focused and designed for intelligent operations, utility companies are increasingly embarking on transformation initiatives.

In early 2023, Utegration teamed up with Natuvion to survey U.S. utilities about their business transformation projects, and got a clear picture of the challenges and opportunities unique to utilities.
