Case Study: Largest Electric Utility Company achieves real-time network visibility and improved renewable energy profitability with NETSCOUT

Powering Up Renewable Energy Growth

One of the largest electric utilities in the U.S., this company supplies clean, affordable power to millions while operating extensive renewable investments and active electricity trading. As it expanded solar, wind, and battery sites, aging low‑bandwidth and satellite links and limited visibility across IT and OT created blind spots that increased cyber and operational risk, threatened real‑time energy trading revenue, and made regulatory compliance harder to prove.

The utility deployed NETSCOUT’s packet‑level monitoring and analytics to gain real‑time visibility across on‑site, remote and cloud environments, including synthetic transaction checks for trading workflows. The results included faster detection and resolution of issues, improved remote‑site and IoT reliability, stronger NERC/FERC compliance, and protection of critical revenue streams and customer experiences — with the platform positioned to support future connectivity upgrades like private LTE.
