Cloud Migration Services in the UK for Energy & Utilities
Move your energy company to Azure with a proven migration methodology that eliminates risk.
Structured Methodology
Every migration follows a proven framework — assess, plan, migrate, optimise — eliminating guesswork and reducing risk at every stage.
Minimal Downtime
We design migration waves and cutover plans that keep your business running, with most workloads migrated outside business hours.
Optimised from Day One
We do not just lift and shift. Every workload is right-sized and configured for Azure to ensure performance and cost efficiency from launch.
Many energy companies remain tied to ageing on-premise servers that increase operational risk and limit growth. Migrating metering data, grid telemetry, and compliance reports to Azure requires careful planning to avoid disruption, data loss, and extended downtime. A structured migration approach is essential for any energy company making the move to the cloud.
Cloudswitched provides cloud migration services for UK energy companies. We assess your existing infrastructure, map dependencies for SCADA, OSIsoft PI, and energy trading platforms, and execute a phased migration that minimises risk. Our methodology ensures metering data, grid telemetry, and compliance reports arrives in Azure intact, with rollback plans at every stage and full Ofgem, HSE, and environmental regulations documentation.
How it works for Energy businesses
A clear, structured process from consultation to ongoing support.
1
Discovery & Assessment
We map your entire on-premises estate — servers, dependencies, performance profiles, and compliance requirements — to build a complete picture before designing the migration plan.
2
Wave Planning
Workloads are grouped into migration waves based on complexity, dependencies, and business criticality. Each wave has its own timeline, testing plan, and rollback procedure.
3
Post-Migration Optimisation
After cutover, we monitor performance and costs closely, tuning configurations, right-sizing resources, and addressing any issues that emerge in the live environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Timeline depends on the number of workloads and complexity of SCADA, OSIsoft PI, and energy trading platforms integrations. Typical energy company migrations run between four and twelve weeks. We provide a detailed timeline during the assessment phase before any commitment.
We design migrations specifically to minimise disruption to SCADA, OSIsoft PI, and energy trading platforms. Critical energy company systems are migrated during evenings or weekends, with rollback plans at every stage. Most clients experience zero perceptible downtime.
Metering data, grid telemetry, and compliance reports is transferred using encrypted connections with integrity validation at every stage. We maintain parallel environments during cutover, ensuring data is verified in Azure before decommissioning source systems.
Ofgem, HSE, and environmental regulations compliance is maintained throughout the migration. We document the chain of custody for metering data, grid telemetry, and compliance reports, configure Azure environments to meet regulatory standards before migration begins, and provide compliance evidence for auditors.
We provide a hypercare period of enhanced monitoring and rapid support following migration. This covers performance tuning, user issue resolution, and optimisation of your new Azure environment for energy company workloads.
