Energy & Utilities

Three challenges defining
energy operations today.

Aging infrastructure, grid reliability pressure, and overlapping regulatory mandates. ServiceNow unifies the data, automates the response, and provides the compliance evidence layer.

Start Your Energy Transformation

Grid Reliability Under Pressure

47 hr avg outage

Average major outage duration across US distribution utilities is 47 hours. Fault isolation alone consumes 8-12 hours as engineers manually cross-reference SCADA alerts, GIS maps, and maintenance logs.

Aging Asset Infrastructure

60% of transformers >25 yrs

Most utilities lack condition-based monitoring, relying on calendar-based PM schedules that miss 40-60% of incipient failures.

Regulatory & Compliance Pressure

NERC CIP + EPA + state

NERC CIP reliability standards, EPA emissions reporting, and state-level renewable portfolio mandates create overlapping compliance obligations.

ServiceNow answers: 93% faster outage resolution · 97% turbine availability · automated NERC CIP
Energy Capabilities

Built for the energy transition. Delivered on ServiceNow.

Grid Operations & Reliability

ServiceNow ITOM unifies SCADA, ADMS, and substation RTU alert streams into a single incident record with auto-identified fault location and location-based field crew dispatch.

Asset Performance & Predictive Maintenance

IoT sensors stream condition data into health-scoring models; assets exceeding a 0.65 failure probability threshold generate pre-fault work orders automatically.

Renewable Energy Operations

Automated weather API feeds update generation forecasts every 15 minutes, with ML-based P50/P90 forecasts and automated day-ahead bidding capped at 90% of P90.

Customer Experience & Engagement

Unified agent workspace consolidating multi-utility account data, proactive outage SMS within 8 minutes of fault confirmation, and usage anomaly detection.

Environmental & Sustainability Compliance

Continuous emissions monitoring data flows directly into EPA and state regulatory report templates with monthly Scope 1/2/3 carbon accounting.

Energy Storage & Demand Response

Automated demand response dispatch across opted-in customer segments and 30-minute storage schedule updates from real-time LMP and BMS data.
