Utility Onboards 3M Smart Meters to Cloud-Native Data Platform
Building an IoT and analytics platform on Azure that handles billions of smart meter readings monthly, unlocking advanced rate plans and analytics.
Project Overview
The Challenge
Smart meter rollout was outpacing the utility's data platform capacity, with billing and analytics struggling to keep up with billions of readings.
- 1Billions of meter readings monthly overwhelming legacy data stack
- 2Slow billing cycles and data quality issues
- 3Inability to launch time-of-use or dynamic tariffs
Our Solution
CloudGate built a cloud-native meter data management platform on Azure IoT Hub and Microsoft Fabric, scaling elastically with rollout.
- High-throughput ingestion of meter readings via Azure IoT Hub
- Time-series analytics on Microsoft Fabric with full historical retention
- Customer analytics for behavioral segmentation and tariff design
The Results
