Utilities: Digital transformation that delivers

Partnering for a sustainable utilities sector

From smart metering to sustainability, we help utilities innovate and stay compliant

The energy transition requires smart, reliable and future-proof IT solutions. From grid operators to energy providers, every organisation is under pressure to decarbonise operations, deliver outstanding customer experiences, and stay compliant with increasingly strict regulations.

At adesso, we help energy companies turn digital challenges into tangible results. Our experts combine deep industry knowledge with cutting-edge technology, enabling you to innovate faster, work more efficiently, and remain fully compliant.

How we support you

Customised solutions for your competitive advantage

Driving sustainability

Sustainability and decarbonisation

From smart monitoring to advanced data analytics: we help reduce CO₂ emissions and integrate renewable sources such as wind, solar, and hydrogen into your operations.

Transforming core systems

Core IT transformation

Migration to modern platforms such as SAP S/4HANA, digitalisation of metering and consumption data, and IoT integration for a more robust and flexible IT landscape.

Putting customers first

Customer-centric digital services

Self-service portals, mobile apps, and personalised communication that enhance the customer experience and strengthen engagement.

Staying compliant, reducing risk

Compliance and regulation

We help you navigate complex energy regulations, from grid balancing and market integration to sustainability reporting (CSRD) and data governance.

Optimising with data

Data-driven optimisation

Harness IoT sensors, real-time analytics, and predictive models to improve demand forecasting, reduce downtime, and increase asset performance.

Innovations in practice

Artificial intelligence in power plant maintenance

Data silos once made power plant maintenance highly manual and inefficient. With AI-driven value-based maintenance, forecasts about individual component needs are now far more accurate. This reduces downtime, optimises asset performance, and improves service levels.

Virtual power plants: coordinating decentralised energy sources

Smaller wind, solar and hydro plants cannot individually compete on the energy market or provide essential system services such as grid stabilisation. By combining decentralised assets into a virtual power plant, and steering them with AI, renewable sources can deliver these services collectively and reduce dependency on fossil fuels.
