Microsoft Fabric for energy and utilities
Microsoft Fabric brings grid, asset and operational data into one lakehouse so energy and utility operators can monitor networks and meet regulatory demands. Veratas designs, builds and runs that platform end to end.
Energy and utility data spans operational systems built in isolation
Energy and utility operators run critical networks on data that lives in many separate operational and corporate systems.
A utility holds data in SCADA and control systems, smart meters and AMI, asset registers and GIS, outage and work management systems, and corporate platforms for finance and customers. Each was built for its own purpose, so a complete picture of network, asset and customer performance is hard to assemble.
This creates real operational friction. Outage analysis depends on data stitched together after the event. Asset health and maintenance decisions rely on registers that do not reflect live condition. Regulatory and compliance reporting consumes weeks of manual effort because the underlying data has no single trusted source.
Microsoft Fabric provides that single source. SCADA and sensor telemetry streams in through Real-Time Intelligence, meter, asset and outage data lands through Data Factory pipelines, and OneLake becomes the governed home for grid, asset and operational data. Network operations, asset management and regulatory teams work from one consistent, auditable platform.
What energy and utility operators build on Microsoft Fabric
Fabric supports the operational and regulatory analytics that network and asset teams depend on.
Real-time network monitoring
Stream SCADA and sensor telemetry into Real-Time Intelligence to monitor load, voltage and network condition as it happens. Control room teams can spot emerging constraints and respond before they become incidents.
Outage detection and response
Combine telemetry, meter events and outage management data in the lakehouse to detect, locate and analyse outages faster. Clear restoration data also supports accurate reliability reporting to the regulator.
Asset health and condition monitoring
Bring asset registers together with condition and sensor data so maintenance is driven by real asset health. Fabric notebooks let engineering model failure risk and prioritise investment across an ageing network.
Regulatory and compliance reporting
Model network, reliability and performance data once in OneLake, with Purview lineage, so regulatory submissions are consistent and auditable. Reporting becomes a repeatable process rather than a manual reconciliation exercise.
Demand, generation and renewables analytics
Analyse consumption, distributed generation and renewable output together to understand network behaviour. This supports forecasting, capacity planning and the management of a more variable and decentralised grid.
How Veratas delivers Microsoft Fabric for energy and utilities
We deliver Fabric as one accountable engagement, from operational data sources through to control room and regulatory reporting.
Assess the operational data estate
We map your SCADA, AMI, GIS, asset and outage systems, agree the network and regulatory measures that matter, and design a Fabric architecture suited to a critical national infrastructure environment.
Build the lakehouse and pipelines
We bring SCADA telemetry in through Real-Time Intelligence and meter, asset and outage data through Data Factory, then model a governed lakehouse in OneLake with consistent network and asset definitions.
Deliver operational and regulatory analytics
We build Power BI on Direct Lake for live network and asset views, and dependable regulatory reporting, so control room, asset and compliance teams work from the same trusted data.
Govern and run the platform
We apply Purview governance, lineage and strict access control, then run Fabric as a managed service so the platform stays secure, reliable and audit ready as the network evolves.
