Data & AI consultancy for energy and sustainability.

Turn meter, grid and generation data into decisions you can trust. Energy suppliers, grid operators and sustainability teams work with an expert data team that turns high-volume energy data into clear insights and automated, enriched data feeds.

The challenge

By the time the report lands, the peak has passed.

Every meter, asset and transaction throws off data. Smart meters, grid sensors, generation assets, tariffs and billing systems each hold a piece of the picture. Where is demand heading. Where is the grid under strain. Which customers are about to leave.

For most energy and sustainability businesses that data sits across many systems, in fragmented form, under strict privacy and regulatory rules. It is hard to combine, sensitive to handle, and slow to turn into anything useful. Decisions get made on yesterday’s picture of the grid.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ

How does working with i-spark actually work?

You get a dedicated, multidisciplinary data team through Data-Team-as-a-Service, covering architecture, engineering, analytics and strategy under one flexible engagement. i-spark works as an external data team alongside your people, remote-first with on-site time in the Netherlands when it helps, and scales up or down as your needs change.

Do we need to replace our current systems or tools?

No. i-spark builds on the tools you already use and fills the gaps, connecting your meter, grid and operational systems rather than replacing them. The goal is one governed source of truth on top of your existing landscape, not a costly migration.

How flexible is the engagement?

Very flexible. Data-Team-as-a-Service scales up or down without rigid, long lock-ins, so you can add capacity for a major project or a seasonal peak and ease off afterwards. You work directly with senior professionals, and the commercial model flexes with what you need.
