What is changing in Energy & Utilities

The pressures we hear from leadership teams in this sector, and the ones the work below answers.

  • Transition spending under scrutiny

    Capital programmes have to show measurable returns to regulators and boards.

  • Settlement grows more complex

    Tariffs, metering data and counterparty invoices change faster than the processes that handle them.

  • Regulatory reporting load

    Reporting obligations grow every year and still depend on spreadsheets.

  • Knowledge close to retirement

    Know-how sits with people near retirement and systems near end of life.

How we help in Energy & Utilities

The capabilities behind our work here. Open one to see what you get, how to start and the result it moved.

Attended and unattended robots for the systems that will never expose an API worth using. Built with source control, environments and exception handling, because a bot without those is a liability with a schedule.

Ways to start in Energy & Utilities

Fixed-scope first steps we have run against exactly this kind of problem.

  • Rescue

    Automation Rescue

    Two weeks to audit an inherited bot estate that keeps breaking, stabilise the worst of it, and tell you what is worth keeping.

    Duration
    2 weeks
    What you keep
    You get the inventory even if you retire everything in it.
  • Lab

    Emerging Tech Sprint

    Two weeks testing one emerging technology against one of your real processes, ending in a recommendation you can act on or drop.

    Duration
    2 weeks
    What you keep
    'Walk away' is a legitimate outcome and we will say it.

Bars drawn to scale: one block is one week.

Our view

Metering, billing exceptions, outage records and statutory reporting. The deadline is fixed by a regulator and the source systems were not designed to meet it.

Bring us one process in Energy & Utilities. We will tell you what it would take.

Not a proposal: a straight read on whether it is worth changing, what it costs and where it usually goes wrong in this sector.
