Driving Net Zero with Data Strategy: Cloud Formations at Utility Week Live 2025

Writer: Cloud Formations Cloud Formations

Net zero isn’t just about energy transition—it’s about data. Smarter grids, improved efficiency, and minimal disruption to customers all depend on open data, digital solutions, and smart networks working seamlessly together. But let’s be honest—many utilities are still wrestling with legacy systems, siloed data, and slow-moving infrastructure. 

 

At Utility Week Live 2025, Cloud Formations will be cutting through the noise and showing real, practical solutions that help utilities modernise operations, drive efficiency, and make data work harder—without unnecessary complexity. 

 

Turning Data Chaos into Clarity 

Utilities don’t have a data problem—they have a data usability problem. Smart meters, IoT devices, and SCADA systems generate massive amounts of data, but if it’s locked in silos or buried in outdated infrastructure, it’s practically useless. The challenge isn’t collecting more data—it’s making it work harder. 


That’s where CF.Cumulus™ comes in. It automates data ingestion from IoT sensors, operational systems, and legacy databases, structuring it in real time so utilities can stop firefighting and start optimising. Whether it’s energy demand forecasting, predictive maintenance, or real-time load balancing, CF.Cumulus™ ensures data flows freely across teams, departments, and entire networks. 

Built to work seamlessly with Microsoft Fabric, Databricks, Data Factory and Microsoft Synapse, it integrates seamlessly into existing cloud architectures—modernising operations without disruption. 

And with Azure Event Grid and AI-powered analytics, utilities can move beyond historical reporting to predict demand shifts, automate network responses, and reduce downtime—before issues arise. 

 

Smarter Utilities Start with Smarter Data Strategy 

Every utility is under pressure to optimise operations, reduce costs, and meet sustainability targets. The problem? Most systems weren’t built for real-time intelligence or predictive automation. 

 

At Utility Week Live, we’re cutting through the noise and showing real-world applications of smarter data strategy. With our solutions, utilities can: 

  • Predict and prevent failures before they happen with AI-driven analytics and automated fault detection. 

  • Automate real-time asset monitoring with Azure Machine Learning and cloud-based digital twins, reducing costly manual interventions. 

  • Take control of compliance and governance with metadata-driven workflows, ensuring accurate, traceable, and auditable data. 

  • Migrate to the cloud—without the disruption. CF.Nimbus™ streamlines legacy code analysis, documentation, and migration, eliminating the usual roadblocks. 

 

Less firefighting. More automation. Fewer inefficiencies. Greater insight. That’s what happens when data strategy is done right. 


Meet Cloud Formations at Utility Week Live 2025 

Utility Week Live is where 100% of UK utilities come together to explore the next generation of smart, data-driven solutions. As Europe’s only pan-utility exhibition, it’s the place to tackle regulatory shifts, operational challenges, and digital transformation—without the sales pitches and hype. 

 

Where: NEC, Birmingham When: 20-21 May 2025 Find out more: Utility Week Live 2025 

 

Stop by our stand, see real-world case studies in action, and let’s talk about how better data strategy can make net zero a reality. 

 

No fluff. No jargon. Just smarter data, and better utilities. See you there.
