Restrains:

Security Concerns:

• Energy companies handle sensitive data on critical infrastructure, such as power grids and pipelines, and customer data from names to addresses and consumption patterns. Migration of that data to the cloud raises concerns regarding possible security breaches and unauthorized access. Even though cloud providers have numerous robust security features in place, operational disruptions, financial losses, and problems reflecting negatively on the company's reputation would be the immediate consequences of a cyber-attack, making some companies still very careful.

Opportunities:

Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM):

• With its vast proliferation into the Internet of Things technologies, cloud computing has furthered a sea change view of traditional RMM instead. It can remotely monitor and optimize energy companies' assets from power plants down to distribution grids, wherever they may be located. That reduces on-site visits, hence physical inspection and maintenance costs and risks. Moreover, real-time sensor data can be analyzed to grade possible equipment failures, schedule proactive maintenance, and forestall any costly downtime.
