The study titled "Global Autonomous Maturity" surveyed 400 industry leaders across 12 countries, revealing that 31.5% prioritize autonomous solutions over the next five years, rising to 44% in ten years. The energy sector faces rising operational costs, skills shortages, and competitiveness issues due to delays in implementation.
High initial costs and legacy systems are the main barriers to adoption. By 2030, the demand for electricity is expected to double to 1,000 TWh, necessitating robust energy operations. As organizations aim for 80% autonomy by 2030, the focus shifts towards AI, cybersecurity advancements, and software-defined automation. The study suggests that to remain competitive, Sweden must enhance automation efforts amidst a backdrop of growing global innovation in the energy sector.
