Following the release of 'Energy and Utilities Market Outlook 2020' , digitalisation has been identified as a key driver for energy and water supply in the MENA..

Dr. Josef Petek, Manager of Commercial Operations at ENEXSA, highlights the increasingly high levels of complexity within energy and water supply, and the need for digitalisation to combat this. ". Today, complex tasks must be solved within a short space of time, and every decision must be based on profound knowledge of the current situation and the understanding of the effects of the measures to be taken.. Petek further comments that "digitalisation is the key ingredient to make the energy and water supply resilient, effective and affordable.. Making the right dispatch decisions that will make maximum use of renewable energy sources while at the same time ensuring that the demand can always be met by the most efficient generation assets of the fleet requires good data, good models, and effective algorithms to support the decision makers.".
