The electric utility industry is increasingly efficient thanks to labor-saving technologies like smart meters, drones, mobile workforce management tools, and networked sensors. These innovations allow for remote monitoring, data collection, and automation, improving safety and productivity. However, human workers are still essential for building, running, and maintaining the power grid.
