Pega for energy utilities: automate regulation, win customers

Regulated processes. Digitalized. Compliant.

Energy utilities face pressure from two sides: customers expect real-time digital self-service experiences — while BNetzA, GPKE, and MaKo keep tightening regulatory requirements.

The Pega platform is in use at energy utilities worldwide — helping them cut turnaround times by up to 60% while ensuring full regulatory compliance.

Pega use cases in the energy sector

Customer service & complaint management

All channels -- portal, app, phone, email -- in one interface. BNetzA-compliant case handling with SLAs, audit trail, and AI-powered next-best-action recommendations via the Pega Customer Decision Hub.

Market communication (MaKo)

Rule-based mapping of GPKE, GeLi Gas, WiM, and MaBiS. Regulatory updates configurable in days -- not coded in months. Existing EDIFACT interfaces are connected, legacy systems remain in place.

Regulatory reporting

Automated data collection, validation, and report generation for BNetzA, BAFA, and state authorities. Audit-proof trails and deadline monitoring significantly reduce the compliance burden.

Energy sales & customer retention

AI-powered customer acquisition with the Customer Decision Hub: next-best-action, churn prediction, and proactive customer outreach -- integrated into lead management and automatic contract creation. Pega reference: SSE (UK), one of Europe's largest energy utilities, uses Pega for contextual customer advice and retention.
