The power sector is undergoing a profound shift as grids worldwide evolve from traditional, one-way electricity systems into dynamic, data-driven networks. Rising renewable penetration, electrification of transport and industry, distributed generation, and increasing reliability expectations have accelerated the need for smarter, more resilient grid architectures.
However, this transition introduces new operational, regulatory, and technological complexities — from load balancing and grid stability to cybersecurity and digital infrastructure integration.
EnergyStrat Consulting helps utilities, governments, and energy stakeholders navigate this transformation with confidence. Our Smart Grid Consulting solutions enable organisations to modernise grid infrastructure, optimise operations, improve reliability, and unlock new value streams through digital innovation and intelligent energy systems.
A modern grid is no longer optional — it is essential for meeting today’s reliability, flexibility, and sustainability demands. Yet most organisations face challenges such as:
Without a strategic smart grid roadmap, organisations risk inefficiencies, reliability issues, operational disruptions, and inability to scale renewable or distributed energy adoption.
Our consulting services deliver direction, clarity, and actionable solutions to help clients build modern, resilient, and future-ready power systems.
1. Grid Modernisation Strategy & Roadmapping
We design comprehensive smart grid strategies aligned with client objectives, regulatory requirements, and system needs. This includes defining target operating models, investment priorities, implementation timelines, and digital transformation pathways.
2. Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Advisory
We support planning, deployment, and optimisation of smart metering systems. Our services cover technology evaluation, vendor selection, data integration, cybersecurity considerations, and consumer engagement strategies — enabling real-time insights and improved billing accuracy.
3. Distributed Energy Resource (DER) Integration
The rise of rooftop solar, battery storage, EV charging, and microgrids requires advanced management capabilities. We help utilities integrate DERs safely and efficiently through forecasting models, control strategies, and DERMS (Distributed Energy Resource Management Systems) design.
4. Grid Reliability, Stability & Resilience Planning
We analyse load profiles, system constraints, outage risks, and resilience gaps to strengthen grid performance. Our solutions include fault analysis, asset hardening strategies, redundancy planning, and resilience frameworks for extreme weather conditions.
5. Digital Grid Technologies & Data Analytics
From IoT sensors to AI-driven analytics, smart grid technologies unlock operational improvements. We help clients deploy SCADA upgrades, predictive maintenance systems, digital twins, and real-time monitoring tools to improve asset health and optimise grid operations.
6. Regulatory & Policy Advisory
We evaluate regulatory frameworks related to grid codes, renewable integration, pricing mechanisms, data governance, and performance standards. Our experts guide organisations through compliance requirements and help shape policy strategies to unlock smart grid investments.
7. Smart Grid Cybersecurity Frameworks
Digitalisation increases exposure to cyber threats. We develop cybersecurity strategies covering threat assessment, incident response planning, data protection, network security, and alignment with global security standards.
