UK Smart Energy Cloud targets Britain's smart-meter rollout

IBM and Cable&Wireless Worldwide are collaborating to develop a new intelligent data and communications solution, UK Smart Energy Cloud.

The offering is aimed at supporting the UK’s Smart Meter Implementation Programme, which aims to rollout more than 50 million smart meters across Britain.

UK Smart Energy Cloud has the potential to provide a complete overview of energy usage across the country and pave the way for easier implementation of a smart grid. The solution will tap into IBM’s experience in implementing smart-grid programs around the world and its proven enabling software and middleware. The solution will be supported by C&W Worldwide’s extensive, secure next-generation network and communications integration capability.
