Energy experts warn of dependence on US tech companies: German companies urgently need to develop resilience strategies.

In our Innovation Benchmark
Energy Industry 2024 EWE is the new frontrunner. The energy group E.ON is even scaling back certain products and slips to 9th place.
The pressure from energy suppliers on their IT service providers is growing – and this also applies to the Group’s own providers. In order to meet the increased requirements, Soluvia IT-Services GmbH, the IT service provider of the MVV Group, is completely reorganising its structure and processes.
The current energy crisis is clearly leaving its mark on the innovation portfolio of energy supply companies. This is shown by our Innovation Benchmark Analysis 2023 for the energy industry. The number of innovative products and services for end customers analysed remained virtually unchanged for the first time since the annual survey began.
