The energy sector is at an inflection point. As the global transition to renewable energy accelerates, asset owners and operators face growing pressure to optimize operations and maintenance (O&M) to ensure long-term asset performance, maximize uptime and reduce costs. With the increasing complexity of energy infrastructure, spanning solar farms, battery storage systems and distributed energy resources, traditional O&M approaches are struggling to keep pace.
The current state of O&M in energy
O&M in the energy sector has historically been reactive, with teams responding to faults as they arise. This break-fix model is no longer sustainable as portfolios scale, regulatory requirements tighten and stakeholders demand greater accountability. Proactive maintenance strategies are becoming essential to minimize downtime and extend asset lifecycles.
At the same time, O&M teams are facing workforce constraints. The clean energy industry is growing faster than the available talent pool, making it increasingly difficult to find skilled technicians. Compounding this challenge, many organizations still rely on disparate systems, such as spreadsheets, disconnected software and manual processes, which hinder efficiency and visibility.
