MPLS Network Solutions in the UK for Energy & Utilities
Enterprise-grade MPLS connectivity engineered for energy operations across the UK.
Guaranteed QoS
Priority traffic classes ensure voice, video, and critical applications always perform at their best across every site.
Private & Secure
Your data travels over a private network — never touching the public internet — with built-in encryption and access controls.
Fully Managed
From circuit provisioning to ongoing monitoring, our team handles every aspect of your MPLS infrastructure.
Energy Companies with multiple offices, substations, and control centres face a critical challenge: keeping SCADA, energy trading platforms, and smart grid systems performing consistently across every location. Standard internet connections introduce variable latency, packet loss, and unpredictable speeds that degrade grid telemetry, trading data, and customer billing records transfers and frustrate engineers and analysts.
Cloudswitched deploys managed MPLS networks specifically designed for UK energy companies. Our Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) network connects multiple sites with guaranteed bandwidth, low latency, and quality-of-service traffic prioritisation, ensuring your engineers and analysts experience identical performance whether they are in your head office or the most remote office.
How it works for Energy businesses
A clear, structured process from consultation to ongoing support.
1
Tailored Network Design
We analyse your traffic flows, application requirements, and site locations to architect an MPLS topology that delivers optimal performance without over-provisioning.
2
Carrier-Agnostic Procurement
We source circuits from multiple tier-1 carriers, ensuring competitive pricing and avoiding single-vendor lock-in across your entire network.
3
Proactive Network Operations
Our 24/7 NOC monitors every node and circuit, resolving performance issues before they affect your business operations.
MPLS Network Solutions in the UK for Energy
Guaranteed Inter-Site Performance
Every connection between your offices, substations, and control centres runs on a private, SLA-backed MPLS backbone with guaranteed bandwidth, eliminating the latency spikes that disrupt SCADA, energy trading platforms, and smart grid systems.
Traffic Prioritisation
Quality-of-service policies ensure mission-critical energy applications receive priority bandwidth, even when engineers and analysts are running large grid telemetry, trading data, and customer billing records transfers simultaneously.
Scalable Multi-Site Architecture
Add new offices, substations, and control centres to your MPLS network without redesigning the topology. Each site connects seamlessly with consistent security policies and performance guarantees.
Regulatory Compliance Support
Private MPLS transport keeps grid telemetry, trading data, and customer billing records off the public internet entirely, supporting your Ofgem regulations and NERC CIP standards obligations with network-level isolation and encryption.

Frequently Asked Questions
MPLS is a private wide-area network technology that routes traffic across dedicated pathways rather than the public internet. For energy companies, this means your SCADA, energy trading platforms, and smart grid systems operate with guaranteed bandwidth, minimal latency, and consistent performance across all offices, substations, and control centres.
MPLS pricing for energy companies depends on the number of offices, substations, and control centres, bandwidth requirements, and SLA tier. Cloudswitched provides fully scoped quotations after a free site survey, with circuits typically starting from £250 per site per month.
Yes. Our MPLS network covers the entire UK, connecting your offices, substations, and control centres regardless of location. We design the topology around your specific energy operations, ensuring consistent performance between all locations.
MPLS offers guaranteed performance with fixed SLAs, making it ideal for latency-sensitive energy applications like SCADA, energy trading platforms, and smart grid systems. SD-WAN provides more flexibility and can be more cost-effective for less critical traffic. Many energy companies use both in combination.
Typical MPLS installation for energy companies takes 30 to 90 working days depending on site locations and circuit availability. Cloudswitched manages the entire process, including Openreach liaison, router deployment, and configuration of QoS policies for your energy applications.
