Bridgewater Consulting Group (BCG) has been recognized for its outstanding contributions to the utility sector, receiving the prestigious Partner Excellence and Growth Award from Smart Energy Water (SEW) at the WE3 Summit in Huntington Beach, California.

The award, presented during the VIP Dinner and Awards Ceremony, acknowledges BCG's exceptional role in advancing digital transformation within the Utility industry. SEW's Chief Marketing Officer Paridhi Gupta highlighted BCG's significant impact: "BCG has demonstrated a profound understanding of the evolving landscape of utilities, helping organizations elevate their strategies through digitization and AI integration. Your full suite of service offerings is an enabler to our connected platforms, empowering utility customers with dynamic and versatile solutions while delivering an authentically collaborative end-to-end experience."

"These folks put in the countless hours and all the planning, strategy, and late hours to ensure we deliver on our promises. I love this team. They're an amazing group of people to work with."

The recognition came during the WE3 Summit, where BCG served as a Platinum-Level Sponsor, demonstrating its commitment to advancing innovation in the utility sector. The summit, themed "Embracing the Power of People + AI," brought together approximately 50 industry leaders to explore crucial topics, including Net Zero, ESG, eMobility, and AI advancements in customer experience.

We further made our presence at the meet evident with Mark Podorsky, our Energy & Utilities Practice Partner's participation in a key panel discussion on "Embedding AI Technology into CX." The session explored how leading utilities leverage artificial intelligence to enhance customer experience while reducing service costs, highlighting BCG's expertise in driving digital transformation in the utility sector.

Looking toward the future, BCG and SEW are poised to strengthen their partnership further. Paridhi Gupta emphasized, "Together, we will continue to innovate and build a global utility ecosystem that is deeply integrated, customer-centric, smart, hyper-connected, agile, and responsive to address sustainability challenges.
