Deloitte’s Autonomous Field Operations solutions are tailored to our client’s unique tech architectures. They include a cloud hyperscaler, an (optional) SaaS engineering-grade digital model, remote sensing data sourcing (LiDAR, Imagery, and IoT Data), edge computing, UxV payloads, and pre-configured and customizable prescriptive/predictive AI models to optimize power utilities' transmission & distribution structural and vegetation field service operations.
For the first time in the industry, the bulk power system is now influenced by distribution-level changes, significantly disrupting traditional power dynamics. And for the first time at DISTRIBUTECH, the event will delve into the regulatory, operational, and market dependencies as these boundaries start to blur.
Discover how utilities are integrating, managing, and servicing energy storage assets while also building internal teams and customer programs around energy storage.
Whether they’re residential or commercial, electric vehicles bring new challenges for transmission and distribution utilities, including hardware integration, system planning, and managed charging.

Speakers:
Carlos Aldazabal, Vice President of Energy Supply, Tampa Electric
Patrick Shell, Director, Asset Management, Tampa Electric
Alex Martins, Senior Manager, Deloitte Consulting LLP
Sheng Yang, Managing Director, Deloitte Consulting LLP
Date: March 26, 3:00 PM - 3:50 PM CST (location TBD)
Description: Tampa Electric leverages an asset management approach to define safety, compliance, reliability, cost, and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) requirements for a modernized custom-built work and asset management system. Utilities are challenged by a quickly evolving and complicated technological landscape, ever-increasing business governance requirements, and rate pressure. Often utilities are left with few alternatives to package ERP solutions.
In this presentation, leaders from both Tampa Electric’s asset management and energy supply divisions and Deloitte will explore how a value-based incremental approach can be instrumental in modernizing a homegrown and aging work and asset management solution. We aim to provide insights on how this tailored transformation can support business growth, improve operational metrics, and ultimately contribute to achieving ESG and other goals. We will also explore why Tampa Electric made the strategic choice to modernize its aging work management system incrementally, prioritizing areas that deliver the highest business value.
