Energy and Utilities
Energy systems that see every asset and every meter.
Power is now the number one constraint on Africa's digital economy, and utilities across our markets are being asked to add renewables, cut losses and connect new customers at the same time. Cloud lets them do that without building their own data centres, which, given the power they would consume, is also the more sustainable architecture decision.
Sector practice
Delivered under our AWS AI, Data & Analytics, Migration and Modernization and DevOps Competencies.
What we hear
The pressures energy and utilities leaders describe to us.
- Technical and commercial losses on the grid
- Ageing SCADA and asset systems
- Renewables integration and forecasting
- Customer billing and collections for millions of accounts
- Regulatory reporting on reliability and tariffs
Use cases
What we build for energy and utilities on AWS.
Smart meter and loss analytics
Streaming meter data to detect losses and theft and to forecast demand.
AWS: Amazon Kinesis, Amazon Timestream, Amazon SageMaker
Asset performance management
Digital records and predictive maintenance for generation and transmission assets.
AWS: AWS IoT SiteWise, Amazon SageMaker
Renewables forecasting
Solar and wind generation forecasts blended with weather data.
AWS: Amazon SageMaker, Amazon S3
Customer platforms
Billing, payments and self-service for utilities and pay-as-you-go energy.
AWS: AWS Lambda, Amazon Aurora, Amazon Connect
Operational technology integration
Secure bridges between OT networks and cloud analytics.
AWS: AWS IoT Greengrass, AWS Outposts
Regulation and residency
Designed within the rules.
Energy is critical infrastructure, and most countries in our regions restrict where critical infrastructure data can be processed. We separate operational control systems, which stay on-site, from analytics and customer platforms, which can use AWS with a documented classification.
Services
How we deliver it.
AI and Agentic AI
AI agents that reach production, not just the pilot.
Data and Analytics
The data foundation your AI strategy is waiting for.
DevOps and CloudOps
Faster releases, reliable operations and a lower cloud bill.
Migration and Modernization
Move to AWS with the compliance map, the cost model and the plan.
Questions
Common questions
Can control systems be connected to the cloud safely?
Control stays local. We connect OT data outbound through segmented networks and AWS IoT Greengrass for analytics only, following IEC 62443 principles.
