The extension of the Consumer Data Right (CDR) from open banking to the energy sector is progressing.

The Australian Power & Utilities sectors are facing an unprecedented period of transformation with more anticipated. These sectors are operating in an environment where resources are becoming scarcer due to a growing population, urban densification and climate change; customers face increasing cost of living pressure whilst having higher expectations of utilities; and a range of different technologies is maturing, converging and forming the next wave to disrupt the sector.

Furthermore, the regulatory landscape is shifting leading to uncertainty, particularly in the energy sector. Businesses need to respond to these forces.

In recent times, KPMG has observed:

large scale transformations becoming more dominant across the sector than ever before, with a focus on customer centricity and technology enablement
focused investment in data & analytics across the sectors, especially in cognitive automation and the Internet of Things (IoT)
improved customer experience to be more user-centric and in line with better practice from other leading customer experience industries
efficiency being driven towards the delivery of products and services at sustainably low cost methods
utilities being proactive to regulatory changes and investment decisions.
