Achieving net zero is everyone’s responsibility - we all have our part to play
For customers, this means radical lifestyle change: adopting new ways of heating our homes, generating our own power through microgeneration, and reducing our personal carbon footprint through capture and removal. It’s a level of complexity for which many people are not prepared.
At Capita, we’re experts at helping organisations to empower their customers. We’re also championing the transformation of the utilities industry, enabling a culture of not just energy consumption, but energy creation.
Our solutions support the utility sector in their transition and transformation journey while turning environmental concerns, new regulations, and new consumer demands into opportunities to grow your business. From designing the new services that consumers will need, to training your people and harnessing your data and technology to deliver them, we can help you to make the next-generation customer a reality.
