Energy and utilities
Solar capacity, new demand and smart meters are joining networks built for a different load. We build the governed data and API layer between operational technology and analytics on Google Cloud, without opening a path back into the control network.
Updated October 19, 2026
In an energy company, a data problem is a reliability problem.
Your operational network works and is protected for good reason. Your analytics and AI teams want what it knows, and your regulators want reports built from it.
Growth
The UAE Energy Strategy 2050 and the national net zero commitment are adding clean generation, storage and new demand to networks whose operational data still moves through point-to-point links and nightly extracts.
What waiting costs: planning and dispatch decisions made on data that is already old.
Critical infrastructure
Utilities are critical infrastructure. The UAE Information Assurance Regulation and the UAE Cybersecurity Council's direction set the bar, and any new path between the control network and enterprise systems needs approval.
What waiting costs: the integration you need becomes the one you cannot approve.
Reporting
Emirate regulators, such as the Department of Energy in Abu Dhabi, set licensing and performance requirements, and sustainability reporting against national targets needs data nobody has to rebuild by hand.
What waiting costs: filings assembled in spreadsheets, with no trail behind each number.
| Regulator or law | What it asks | What it means for an agent |
|---|---|---|
| Department of Energy, Abu Dhabi | Regulation of the emirate's water and electricity sector, including licensing and performance | Data that feeds a regulated report carries lineage back to the meter or asset. |
| Regulatory and Supervisory Bureau for electricity and water, Dubai | Regulation of Dubai's electricity and water sector | The same lineage rule, evidenced to Dubai's regulator. |
| UAE Information Assurance Regulation, with the UAE Cybersecurity Council | Risk-based security controls for critical sectors | One governed, one-way path out of the control network. Agents read operational data and never write to control systems. |
| UAE Energy Strategy 2050 and the UAE Net Zero by 2050 strategic initiative | National targets for clean energy and emissions | Sustainability figures are built from governed data, and every number traces to its source. |
| Standards: ISO/IEC 27001 for information security; IEC 62443 for industrial automation and control systems | Management-system and OT security controls, applied as standards | The data path is documented in the terms your OT security lead already audits against. |
The data sits at the edge of the grid and does not reach the people and models who could use it. Closing that gap safely means a one-way, governed path, not another direct connection.
Which of your operational systems can feed modern analytics today, and who approved the path?
One governed path out, nothing back in
We open one governed, one-way path out of the operational network first, then build analytics and reporting on what flows through it.
Apigee between operational and enterprise systems, with policy, logging and one owner per interface.
You hold: an approved path your security team can draw on one page.
Apigee and APIsMeter and asset events carried as event streams on Google Cloud into BigQuery, with the operational network untouched.
You hold: live operational data where analysts and models can use it.
Vertex AI, BigQuery and dataRegulatory and sustainability reports built from governed data in BigQuery, with models on Vertex AI flagging readings that fall outside the expected range.
You hold: a filing where every number traces to its source.
Vertex AI, BigQuery and dataEasy to start
Choose one workflow, name one owner, and give us time with the people who sign it off.
We bring engineers and the gateway design, we work inside your environment under your security rules, and we write the review pack alongside the build.
A good first workflow is one reporting obligation built from one data feed. See the fixed-price ways to start.
What the work feels like
One workflow is chosen and one person owns it. The questions your reviewers will ask are written down before any build starts. Your OT security lead approves the data path before any data moves.
Governance goes in before the first agent does: the gateway, the audit trail and the access rules. Your risk team sees them working.
A working demo you can show your own review board, not a status slide.
A decision log that can rebuild any action, and a go-live date that was agreed at the start.

Production readiness check
A short readiness check on a live or planned agent workflow. You get a score and the principles worth another look.
Take the readiness checkNo. We design a governed, one-way path out of the operational network, and your operations and OT security teams approve it before any data moves. Nothing we build writes back into control systems.
Yes. Data and models stay inside the environment, region and controls you set, and every model reads governed data in place instead of a copy.
Yes. We read from a historian, replica or one-way gateway your OT team already trusts, and we do not replace the control systems underneath.
Yes, when the report is built from governed data with lineage. A model can flag gaps and outliers, and a person signs the number that goes into the filing.
The UAE Information Assurance Regulation and your emirate's security rules set the controls, and your OT security lead approves the path before any data moves. We document it against those rules and the standards your team already uses.
Yes, where your policies require it. We confirm at the start which Google Cloud services and locations meet your residency requirement, and design the path so data lands only there.
