U.S. data center power demand projected by 2030
4.5%
global electricity demand growth in 2025
61%
surge in critical infrastructure cyberattacks in 2025
$227B
digital utility market — growing to $654B by 2035
1.2B+
smart water meters deployed globally
Our Services
Six core capabilities purpose-built for utilities — from grid infrastructure and renewable integration to cybersecurity and digital operations.
Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), distribution automation, DERMS, ADMS, FLISR, and real-time grid analytics. The smart grid market is $61–78B. Smart grid platforms reduce outage durations by 40% and accelerate grid deployment by 60%. We design and implement the grid of the future.
90%+ of new electricity capacity is from renewables — but grids weren't designed for bidirectional power flow. We deploy DERMS platforms, renewable forecasting systems, and storage integration strategies that let utilities manage decentralized generation at scale without sacrificing reliability.
1.2B+ smart water meters are deployed globally and 70%+ of U.S. municipals are rolling out AMI. We implement smart metering, AI-powered leak detection, water quality monitoring, and SCADA modernization to reduce non-revenue water losses and improve service reliability.
The digital utility market is $227.85B, growing to $654B by 2035. We deploy cloud platforms, IoT sensor networks, AI-powered analytics, and digital twins that bridge legacy IT/OT systems into intelligent, data-driven operations — from the substation to the customer meter.
Critical infrastructure attacks surged 61% in 2025. We implement zero-trust architectures, continuous OT/SCADA monitoring, network segmentation, and incident response programs designed specifically for utility environments — protecting the systems that communities depend on.
IoT sensors and AI analytics reduce unplanned downtime by 20–50% and maintenance costs by 30%. We implement risk-based asset management frameworks, condition monitoring systems, and predictive models that optimize capital spend and improve system reliability.
Our Process
A 4-phase approach built for utility timelines, regulatory cycles, and capital planning processes.
We assess your grid infrastructure, digital maturity, cybersecurity posture, regulatory environment, and operational efficiency. You get a maturity scorecard, gap analysis, and prioritized investment roadmap.
We design a phased modernization roadmap — aligning technology investments with rate case filings, regulatory approvals, and capital budgets. Every initiative is backed by a defensible business case.
We manage implementation — deploying AMI, configuring ADMS/DERMS, integrating IoT sensors, rolling out cybersecurity controls, and migrating systems to cloud. Phased rollouts ensure zero disruption to customer service.
We monitor system performance, optimize asset strategies, retrain AI models, and help you prepare for the next rate case with data-driven evidence of modernization benefits. Continuous improvement for a continuously evolving grid.
