The power sector is undergoing transformative change driven by urgent decarbonization goals, and falling costs of digital technologies, data storage and processing capabilities. The combination of these factors has converged in a digital revolution that is fundamentally changing the environment that utilities operate in.
This poses both opportunities and challenges. On the one hand, utilities are having to navigate an unfamiliar environment characterized by rapidly evolving technologies and an increasing number of decentralized actors. On the other hand, smart grids and other digital technologies are enabling greater operational efficiency, enhanced customer engagement, and making new business models possible.
The Utility Knowledge Exchange Platform (UKEP) is a new World Bank initiative that aims to facilitate partnerships and knowledge exchange between power utilities. This collaboration helps professions in power generation, and transmission and distribution to harness the technologies and business innovations that are changing the power sector landscape and lie at the heart of the energy transition.
Join UKEP virtual launch to…
- Learn how leading utilities are deploying digital technologies to manage costs whilst improving operations
- Get an insight into best practices from experienced transmission and distribution operators from both advanced and emerging economies
- Tap into a global network of peers in power generation, transmission and distribution so you exchange knowledge and experiences
- Find out how new technologies are enabling utilities to deliver electricity even in the most challenging environments

Le secteur de l’énergie connaît des changements importants motivés par le besoin urgent de répondre aux objectifs de décarbonisation, et rendus possibles par la chute des prix des technologies numériques, et les capacités de stockage et de traitement des données. Tous ces facteurs ont convergé en une révolution numérique qui transforme fondamentalement l’environnement dans lequel les acteurs du secteur de l’énergie opèrent.
Cela présente des opportunités et des défis. D’un côté, les acteurs du secteur de l’énergie doivent naviguer dans un nouvel environnement caractérisé par des technologies qui évoluent rapidement et un nombre grandissant d’acteurs décentralisés. De l’autre côté, les réseaux intelligents et d’autres technologies numériques permettent une meilleure efficience opérationnelle, une implication accrue des clients, et la possibilité de nouveaux modèles commerciaux.
La Plateforme de partage de connaissances des compagnies d’électricité (UKEP) est une nouvelle initiative de la Banque Mondiale pour faciliter les partenariats et le partage des connaissances entre les acteurs du secteur de l’énergie. Cette collaboration aide les professionnels de la production, du transport et de la distribution d’énergie à exploiter les technologies et les innovations commerciales qui modifient le paysage du secteur de l’énergie et sont au cœur de la transition énergétique.
Participez au lancement virtuel d’UKEP pour…
- Découvrir comment les fournisseurs d’énergie les plus importants ont recours à des technologies numériques pour gérer les coûts tout en améliorant leurs opérations.
- Comprendre les bonnes pratiques des opérateurs de transmission et de distribution d’énergie expérimentés dans les économies établies et émergentes.
- Intégrer un réseau mondial de professionnels du domaine de la production, du transport et de la distribution d’électricité afin d’échanger des connaissances et des expériences.
- Saisir comment les nouvelles technologies permettent aux fournisseurs d’énergie de fournir de l’électricité même dans les environnements les plus difficiles.
