Kuopion Energia leads with data far into the future
Key outcomes
Kuopion Energia is developing tools and practices for data-driven management to enhance decision‑making.
The company aims to streamline reporting and consolidate information in one place.
Data-driven management supports planning, operational efficiency, and meeting growing customer expectations.
The challenge
Kuopion Energia operates in an energy sector undergoing major changes, including the shift toward weather‑dependent energy sources and the need to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. The company faced fragmented information across multiple systems, making it difficult to utilize data reliably in business decision‑making. Long-term investment planning and meeting increasing customer demands also required better data utilization. Ensuring data quality, changing working methods, and supporting organizational readiness for digitalization were central challenges.
“The electricity market now needs to adapt, especially to the fact that in the future there will be more weather-dependent energy in use – wind power in particular is growing rapidly and, alongside nuclear power, is likely to become one of the most significant energy sources of the future,”
“You could say we are building a virtual data factory that will be harnessed to support the company’s business strategy,”
“There must be designated contacts who genuinely take responsibility and understand the bigger context and overall picture. With Context&, this has worked exactly that way,”
The solution
Kuopion Energia developed a more systematic approach to data-driven management, supported by long-term collaboration with Context&. This included work on modern tools, Azure environment development, cybersecurity, data warehousing, analytics, and applications for operational activities such as warehouse management and site inspections. The company focused on building a seamless chain for data loading, storage, processing, and integration, described as a “virtual data factory.” Azure technologies and cloud-based tools played a central role.
