Your partner for data projects in the energy sector

How we turn your data into a strategic resource

Energy providers, municipal utilities, and grid operators face a two-pronged challenge: they must modernize and digitize while simultaneously ensuring reliable service—both economically and in compliance with regulations. Although data is generated at every stage, its value often remains limited.

In our projects, we see that infrastructures have evolved historically rather than being strategically planned. Tools like Power BI or Tableau are available, but the strategy for their company-wide deployment is unclear. Business units want to work with data but encounter manual processes, silos, and bottlenecks caused by dependencies. The key to greater efficiency, better decisions, and autonomy lies in the data—when strategy, technology, and people work together.

This is exactly where we provide support. Drawing on our extensive experience with energy projects, we assist in building robust data platforms, developing scalable reporting structures, and establishing data governance—so that business units can truly get to work. Step by step, with the goal of enabling your teams to move forward independently.

Energy & telecommunications

Our solutions for network providers

Transparency about network investments & maintenance measures

We provide an overview of investment planning and maintenance — from medium voltage to local network level. With comprehensible data and visualizations for technology, controlling and regulatory reporting.

Securing grid stability through intelligent processes

We support you in implementing legal requirements such as Redispatch 2.0 — with sophisticated data processes that reliably combine generation, network operation and planning.

Integration of geodata & spatial reference into BI landscapes

We integrate geodata into existing BI systems — e.g. for network expansion planning, capacity assessment or location decisions. This makes spatial reference an integral part of data-based decisions.

Reliable automation of market communication

We make market processes such as supplier changes, MaKo2024 or format changes robust and maintainable — through clean data structures, automated test tracks and clearly defined workflows.

Data-based control of network connections

We help structure and accelerate grid connection processes for PV systems, charging infrastructure or heat pumps based on data — with automated preliminary checks, bottleneck checks and transparent monitoring.

Cross-project reporting governance

We help build a consistent reporting landscape across projects and specialist areas — with coordinated key figures, clear processes and sustainable data management.

What business intelligence can do — when it's properly thought out.

Self-service

Access data without having to wait for anyone. With predefined logics and understandable dashboards.

relevancy

Reports are used — not just built. Because they're relevant, understandable and well-placed.

uniformity

When everyone works with the same definitions, reports become comparable — and decisions become clearer.

transparency

Where does the number come from? Why is she like that? Well-implemented BI makes processes comprehensible — both technically and in terms of content.

How we have already successfully supported other energy service providers

From decentralized data initiatives to building a central data strategy

We have developed a company-wide data strategy with RheinEnergie. In intensive workshops with over 25 stakeholders, the level of maturity, challenges and strategic goals were analysed. The result is a clearly structured roadmap that bundles data initiatives, defines responsibilities and enables data-driven value creation in all areas.

360° customer view by building a customer data platform

Together with evm, we have implemented a modern data warehouse in Azure that provides a consolidated 360° customer view. The basis for this was a customer-focused data model, automated data cleansing via record linkage and the connection of all relevant source systems. The new setup creates a stable basis for future data science initiatives and data-driven decisions.

Questions that will help you

FAQ

Which companies in the energy sector is your support intended for?

We work with energy suppliers, public utilities, network operators and energy service providers who want to modernize their data landscape, securely meet regulatory requirements and develop new data-driven business models.

Why is a data strategy so important for energy service providers?

A clear data strategy links data initiatives with corporate goals, creates transparency about roles and responsibilities, and forms the basis for prioritizing use cases in a structured manner and implementing them in a scalable way

How are you helping energy companies establish data governance?

We develop a governance model including roles for data ownership and stewardship and anchor regulatory requirements such as unbundling, EnWG and GDPR in a consistent data governance concept.

What are the requirements for implementing data-driven use cases in the energy sector?

In addition to a suitable technical basis, clear technical objectives, coordinated key figures and responsibilities are needed. Only then can data-driven use cases be sustainably integrated into everyday business life.
