What's hard
The realities of energy & utilities AI.
Honest about the constraints. AI in this sector isn't a wrapper on a hosted LLM. It has to land inside your boundary, respect your regulators, and earn the trust of the people on the front line.
The grid is becoming a two-way market
Distributed solar, EV charging, batteries, and flexible demand turn the LV network from one-way delivery to a real-time market. Operations and planning need probabilistic, second-by-second insight.
OT cyber posture is under scrutiny
Post-NotPetya, post-Colonial Pipeline, regulators expect a hardened OT stack with monitored east-west traffic and clear control-system boundaries.
Renewables make forecasts harder, not easier
Wind, PV, hydro, and aggregated DER outputs are weather-bound and chaotic at short horizons. Ensembles plus weather-aware models outperform classical methods.
Asset health visibility is uneven
Transformers, cables, switchgear, and turbines age differently and report differently. AI has to fuse SCADA, asset registers, IoT, and field reports into a single risk view.
Where AI moves the needle
Six use cases customers ship today.
These aren't demos. Each pattern is in production for at least one customer in this sector. Click through to the underlying Yobitel app, or have us build the custom variant.
Grid optimisation & state estimation
Real-time topology and state estimation with anomaly flagging on suspect measurements; suggests optimal switching schemes.
Asset health monitoring
Transformer, cable, and switchgear health scoring fusing dissolved-gas analysis, partial-discharge, SCADA, and inspection notes.
Renewable & demand forecasting
PV, wind, and aggregated-demand forecasts at intra-day, day-ahead, and week-ahead horizons. Probabilistic, with reliability intervals.
Demand-response orchestration
Aggregates flexible loads, EV chargers, and behind-the-meter batteries into a virtual power plant for system services.
OT cybersecurity & threat detection
Behavioural baselining for substations and control rooms — alerts on east-west drift, lateral movement, and unauthorised commands.
Field-crew copilot
Multilingual SOP search, switching-procedure validation, and live asset history surfaced on a ruggedised mobile device.
Featured apps
The Yobitel apps powering Energy & Utilities.
Pre-built, vertical-tuned, observable, and one-click-deployable on the Yobibyte platform. Each link is a deeper drill-in.
Livestock Monitor
On-device vision blueprint reused for substation intrusion, wildlife on lines, and right-of-way vegetation analytics.
Agentic RAG
Reason over the network model, asset register, switching diagrams, and incident reports for control-room decision support.
LLM Fine-Tuning
Tune on your CIM model, your switching playbooks, your incident corpus — the model speaks SCADA, not generic English.
Custom AI Build
Bespoke control-room and field projects with embedded engineers experienced in NERC CIP environments.
Regulators & frameworks
Built for the audit, not after it.
Compliance isn't a wrapper on top. It's embedded in how we deploy, train, monitor, and prove decisions for energy & utilities customers.
NERC CIP
Control-centre and substation alignment to CIP-002 through CIP-013. Identity, change-control, and BCSI handling baked into the deployment.
IEC 62443
Zone-and-conduit model for control networks. Inference appliances meet the security-level capabilities expected of zone components.
ISO 27019
Energy-utility-specific extension of ISO 27001. Sector-relevant controls for process control and energy management.
ENISA & NIS2 (EU)
Essential-entity obligations: incident reporting, supply-chain risk, corporate accountability, and minimum security baseline.
Ofgem & UK NIS Regulations
Operator-of-essential-services duties for GB transmission and distribution. CAF mapping and supply-chain disclosure.
GDPR for metering data
Smart-meter data is personal data. Lawful basis, retention, minimisation, and DPIA pattern for analytics on consumption.
How we deploy
The Energy & Utilities deployment pattern.
The shape of every successful energy & utilities engagement, refined across years of customer rollouts and grounded in the operational reality of the sector.
- 01
Anchor in the control-room boundary
Single-tenant, in-region deployment that lands inside your CIP / CAF boundary. No internet exposure for inference nodes.
- 02
Bridge OT data safely
ICCP / IEC 60870 / DNP3 / OPC UA bridged via diode or DMZ broker. Read-only paths from OT to inference; commands gated by HMI.
- 03
Build a single asset view
Fuse CIM, GIS, asset register, IoT, inspection reports, and SCADA into one model — physical, electrical, and lifecycle.
- 04
Augment the operator, never replace
Forecasts and recommendations land on the operator's HMI with confidence bands. Operator action is the only path to the grid.
- 05
Audit every recommendation
Full lineage for regulators — what the model saw, what it recommended, what the operator did, and the system outcome.
Outcomes, measured
The numbers customers put on the slide.
Quantified outcomes from production deployments. Each tied to a real customer, even when the logo is held back at their request.

“Yobitel built us a model that respects the control room. It runs in our CIP boundary, it talks ICCP, and it never asks the operator to take its word for it.”
