The energy retail sector is also experiencing its version of the energy transition, where incumbents with legacy systems are challenged by new entrants rolling out ground-breaking digital platforms.Beyond the digital supremacy, disruptors bring a new approach to consumers' needs, much closer to Amazon than a Utility.
