advanced distribution management systems (adms) technical

"Schneider Electric provides solutions for grid operations and planning, including Advanced Distribution Management systems (ADMS)"

Advanced distribution management systems (ADMS) are software platforms utilities use to monitor, control and optimize the flow of electricity on local power networks, similar to a traffic control center that routes vehicles to avoid jams and accidents. For investors, ADMS matter because they can reduce outage time, lower operating costs, enable integration of renewable energy and electric vehicles, and influence a utility’s capital spending and regulatory performance, all of which affect profitability and risk.

geographic information systems (gis) technical

"planning, including Advanced Distribution Management systems (ADMS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS)."

A geographic information system (GIS) is a smart mapping tool that captures, stores and analyzes location-based data to show where things are and how they relate on a map. For investors, GIS turns scattered facts—like customer concentrations, transportation links, property boundaries or environmental risks—into visual patterns that help assess site choices, supply-chain exposure, market opportunities and long-term asset value, much as a weather map helps plan a trip.

ai technical

"AI will play a critical role in future transformation projects at energy suppliers."

Artificial intelligence (AI) is technology that enables machines to mimic human thinking and learning, allowing them to analyze information, recognize patterns, and make decisions. For investors, AI matters because it can improve how businesses operate, create new products, or identify opportunities faster and more accurately than humans alone, potentially impacting company success and market trends.
