Build Energy Software That Powers the Grid of Tomorrow
Smart metering, grid management, and energy trading platforms delivered by vetted engineers with AI project oversight to keep costs predictable.
Industry: Energy
Pain Points
- Grid Modernization Is Overdue: Aging SCADA systems and manual meter reads cannot support distributed energy resources, EV charging demand, or real-time demand response programs.
- Renewable Integration Complexity: Solar and wind generation is intermittent and decentralized. Utilities need forecasting, curtailment logic, and storage optimization that legacy tools cannot provide.
- Regulatory Rate Case Preparation: Public utility commissions require detailed cost-of-service studies and rate design models. Preparing filings manually takes months of analyst time each cycle.
- Customer Engagement Lags Behind Retail: Energy consumers expect the same digital self-service they get from banks and retailers, but most utility portals are decade-old, read-only bill viewers.
Solutions
- Smart Metering and AMI Platforms: Advanced metering infrastructure platforms collecting interval data, detecting tamper events, enabling remote connect/disconnect, and feeding analytics dashboards.
- AMI head-end system integration
- 15-minute interval data collection
- Tamper and outage detection
- Remote service switching
- Meter data management and validation
- Energy Trading and DERMS: Distributed energy resource management systems and wholesale market bidding tools that optimize battery dispatch, solar curtailment, and demand response.
- Day-ahead and real-time market bidding
- Battery storage optimization
- Solar generation forecasting
- Demand response event management
- Settlement and reconciliation
- Utility Customer Portals: Modern self-service portals where customers view usage, pay bills, enroll in time-of-use programs, report outages, and manage EV charging schedules.
- Usage analytics with cost breakdown
- Paperless billing and autopay
- Outage map and reporting
- Time-of-use plan enrollment
Use Cases
- Smart Meter Data Platform — A platform ingesting interval data from Itron or Landis+Gyr meters, performing VEE (validation, estimation, editing), and surfacing usage analytics for ops and customers. (160-230, $320-$460, 8-11 weeks)
- EV Charging Network Manager — A management platform for EV charging stations with OCPP integration, session tracking, dynamic pricing, load balancing, and driver-facing mobile app. (120-170, $240-$340, 6-8 weeks)
- Renewable Energy Dashboard — A monitoring dashboard for solar and wind installations showing real-time generation, weather-adjusted forecasts, curtailment logs, and grid export totals. (80-130, $160-$260, 4-6 weeks)
Compliance Notes
- NERC CIP for bulk electric system cybersecurity
- FERC reporting for wholesale market participants
- State PUC rate case filing requirements
- EPA emissions reporting integration
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can you integrate with SCADA and OT systems?
- We build secure integration layers using OPC-UA, DNP3, and Modbus protocols to bridge operational technology data into modern IT dashboards while maintaining air-gap security boundaries.
- Do you support NERC CIP compliance?
- We architect systems with NERC CIP controls in mind, including access management, electronic security perimeters, incident response logging, and configuration change tracking.
- How do you handle utility-scale data volumes?
- We use columnar databases and time-series stores optimized for billions of meter reads, with data partitioning strategies that keep queries fast as data grows over years.
- Can you build customer-facing outage maps?
- Yes. We build real-time outage maps using GIS data, AMI last-gasp signals, and crew dispatch systems to show customers estimated restoration times by service area.
