Overview
- Schneider Electric announced SE Advisory Services, a dedicated global consulting unit to guide clients through energy, sustainability, and technology challenges with clearer paths to net zero.
- Speaking in Copenhagen, CEO Olivier Blum said electricity will lead the energy mix, citing a projected 60% rise in global power needs over 15 years and a tripling of renewable share by 2030 that will strain current infrastructure.
- Blum is shifting the company from an energy technology seller to an energy technology partner that uses data to connect grids and data centers for more intelligent, efficient systems.
- The plan leans on partnerships such as NVIDIA and on scaling software and services like EcoStruxure across buildings, data centers, factories, plants, grids, and infrastructure.
- Organizational changes include fewer management layers with one global layer and four empowered regional hubs, paired with a people-first leadership approach and a sustainability focus Blum calls “impact responsibility.”
