Case Study: UK Power Networks achieves real-time, data-driven energy operations with Databricks

UK Power Networks uses the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform to deliver sustainable energy to the masses

UK Power Networks, which helps provide reliable energy services to a quarter of the UK, was challenged by slow on-premises data processing, siloed teams, and complex governance that made it harder to support real-time network monitoring and its net-zero goals. The company turned to Databricks and the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform to improve access to critical data for outage and voltage-change analysis.

With Databricks, UK Power Networks migrated key datasets to the cloud, enabling real-time smart meter alerts, faster decision-making, and better collaboration across teams. The result was reduced downtime for customers, simpler self-service analysis for staff, and a predictive ML engine that supports a smarter, more data-driven electricity network.
