Sectors · Energy & Utilities

Data, control and accountability for utilities in transition.

Utilities are becoming software operators with very expensive hardware. We build the data platforms, security controls and reporting systems that let them run a more distributed grid, meet a stricter security regime and account for their emissions.

What is changing

The grid is being digitised and regulated at the same time.

Dubai Electricity and Water Authority has deployed more than two million smart meters and is investing AED 7 billion in its smart-grid programme to 2035, while Dubai's clean-energy share heads from 21.5% today towards 36% by 2030. The UAE's updated Energy Strategy 2050 foresees AED 150 to 200 billion of investment by 2030, much of it in grids, storage and digitalisation. Every one of those assets produces data that has to be collected, secured and acted on.

In Europe the security regime has hardened: Denmark's act on security and preparedness in the energy sector, implementing both NIS2 and the Critical Entities Resilience Directive, has applied since March 2025. Sustainability reporting has been reshaped by the 2026 Omnibus directive, which narrows CSRD scope to the largest companies but leaves them, including most utilities, with rigorous ESRS-based disclosure obligations.

What we do here

Our work in energy & utilities.

Grid and metering data platforms

Ingestion, quality control and analytics for meter, SCADA and asset data, built for the volumes and latencies of a distributed grid.

OT/IT security under NIS2 and CER

Segmentation, monitoring and incident response across operational and corporate technology, mapped to the sector-specific security acts.

Carbon and sustainability reporting

Emissions accounting across Scope 1, 2 and 3 with an audit trail from disclosure to source data, aligned to ESRS.

Asset, procurement and finance systems

Procurement with public-buyer controls, debtor management for customer billing, and integrations to ERP and accounting.

Carbon emissions analytics platform
Organisations with sustainability reporting obligations · Europe
Design and build of a carbon accounting system covering Scope 1, 2 and 3, with data connectors to finance, energy and fleet systems, recognised emission factors, statistics and ESRS-aligned disclosure output.

How we approach it

What is different about this sector.

OT is not IT
Availability comes first in operational technology. We design security controls that protect the grid without ever becoming the reason it went down.
Every figure has a source
A reported emission or a billed kilowatt-hour must trace back to a meter, an invoice or a documented factor. We build that trace into the data model.
Built for the regulator's questions
Security acts and reporting directives are written as questions. Our systems are designed so the answers are already there.
