Utilities

Smarter, more flexible electricity systems.

Smart metering, flexibility and storage help utilities match supply and demand, cut losses and serve more customers from the capacity they already have.

What we offer

How kWh works with you.

  • 01

    Smart metering

    Accurate consumption data, revenue protection and the basis for new tariffs.

  • 02

    Demand-side management

    Programmes that move flexible demand away from network and generation peaks.

  • 03

    Time-of-use tariffs

    Price signals that reward customers for using electricity when supply is plentiful.

  • 04

    Battery energy storage

    Storage for peak shaving, solar time-shifting and fast reserve.

  • 05

    Congestion management

    Managing load on constrained feeders and substations before reinforcing them.

  • 06

    Monitoring and tariff optimisation

    Visibility of network and customer data to optimise operations and tariffs.

Flexibility

Shift demand, not just supply.

Flexible electricity demand allows customers to shift when they consume electricity, helping utilities better match supply and demand without requiring every customer to build additional generation capacity.

With flexibility, part of the evening demand moves to the middle of the day, when solar output is high, and the peak stays below available capacity.00:0006:0012:0018:0024:00Available capacityWithout flexibilityWith flexibility
