Energy & utilities software
Smart grid management, asset monitoring, and utility billing platforms that support sustainability goals and operational efficiency.
Custom Energy Software That Powers Grid
Modernisation
Two Clouds builds bespoke energy infrastructure software and utility platforms designed to modernise grid operations, renewable integration, and customer engagement. From smart grid management to energy analytics, outage prediction to demand response, we build custom solutions to the £713 billion grid digitalisation challenge.
We bring more than 15 years of systems-integration and field-operations experience to the energy and utilities sector - integrating SCADA systems, smart meters, and distributed resources, improving grid reliability, and meeting UK regulatory requirements that off-the-shelf platforms cannot accommodate.
Energy projects lean heavily on system integration and resilient managed cloud hosting - explore those services for detail.
Issues we solve.
Legacy Infrastructure
86% of utilities modernising legacy SCADA, CIS, and metering systems built on outdated technologies preventing integration with modern digital capabilities.
Grid Reliability Issues
90% of outages originating in the distribution grid, with weather events causing 317 gigawatts of disruption impacting 66 million customers over five years.
Renewable Integration
Solar and wind variability requiring custom forecasting algorithms and distributed resource management as 50% of electricity shifts to renewables by 2050.
Cybersecurity Threats
Average security incidents costing £4.78 million, with SCADA systems lacking authentication and encryption whilst connecting to IT infrastructure.
Customer Expectations
Utility brand trust declining by 11 points as customers demand real-time mobile experiences that existing systems cannot deliver.
Regulatory Complexity
SMETS2, MHHS, RIIO framework, and Ofgem requirements demanding sophisticated reporting and data management beyond standard platform capabilities.
Energy software solutions.
Smart Grid Management
Real-time grid monitoring, SCADA integration, substation automation, outage prediction, and automated fault detection with IEC 61850 compliance.
Energy Management Systems
AI-driven consumption analytics, demand forecasting, peak-hour monitoring, battery optimisation, and carbon footprint tracking with 1,600% ROI potential.
Outage Management
Predictive outage analysis, automated crew dispatch, customer notifications, restoration time estimates, and IEEE 1366 performance reporting.
Renewable Energy Platforms
Solar and wind forecasting, distributed resource management (DERMS), virtual power plants, and renewable integration optimisation.
Smart Meter Data Management
SMETS2-compliant metering, DCC integration, half-hourly settlement (MHHS), AMI head-end systems processing 120M+ daily messages.
Customer Engagement
Self-service portals, mobile apps, billing systems with complex rate structures, AI-powered support, and real-time usage dashboards.
How we deliver - a four-stage build from discovery to handover.
Sector-relevant projects.
Smart grids, smart meters, smart software.
Based in Northern Ireland, we understand the regulatory environment of UK and Ireland energy markets - Ofgem requirements, SMETS2 smart metering, MHHS settlement, RIIO framework obligations, and the Single Electricity Market operating across both jurisdictions. We build software suited to DNOs, transmission operators, renewable providers, and utilities.

Frequently asked
What types of energy software does Two Clouds build?
We build smart grid management systems, energy management platforms, outage management solutions, renewable energy integration platforms, smart meter data management systems, and customer engagement portals for utilities.
Can Two Clouds integrate with SCADA and smart metering systems?
Yes, we have deep expertise in SCADA integration using DNP3, IEC 61850, and Modbus protocols. We also build SMETS2-compliant smart metering solutions with DCC integration and half-hourly settlement capabilities for MHHS compliance.
Does Two Clouds build software for renewable energy management?
Yes, we build solar and wind forecasting platforms, distributed energy resource management systems, virtual power plants, battery storage optimisation, and vehicle-to-grid coordination solutions to support the net-zero transition.
Can Two Clouds help with Ofgem regulatory compliance?
Yes, our energy solutions address SMETS2 smart metering, MHHS half-hourly settlement, RIIO framework reporting, Ofgem data best practice, and BSC qualification requirements. We build compliance into the architecture from the start.
Do you build utility software in Northern Ireland?
Yes. We are a Belfast-based software company and we build custom utility and energy software for the Northern Ireland, UK, and Ireland market, including the Single Electricity Market that spans both jurisdictions. Our software is built for DNOs, suppliers, and renewable providers, and we understand local regulation.
Can you build grid reliability and energy infrastructure software?
Yes. We build grid monitoring, outage prediction, SCADA integration, and asset-management software that improves grid reliability and modernises energy infrastructure - tailored to your network topology, legacy systems, and regulatory obligations rather than forced into an off-the-shelf platform.
