Enabling a smarter electricity grid
Geopolitical uncertainty and global energy challenges are reshaping power systems worldwide. Across the UK and Europe, electricity networks are under increasing strain as demand rises, and the transition to cleaner energy accelerates. Targets such as the UK’s Clean Power 2030 strategy, alongside evolving regulatory frameworks, are making accurate, accessible energy data more critical than ever.
The rapid electrification of transport and heating, driven by electric vehicles and heat pumps, is placing additional strain on already stretched infrastructure. At the same time, the increasing share of renewable generation is introducing new complexities for grid planning, load balancing, and network management.
Utilities and energy retailers are also facing operational challenges. Smart meter rollouts have progressed unevenly, and issues around smart meters’ health, where installed meters operate without full smart functionality, continue to affect data availability and system visibility.
When energy data is unreliable or incomplete, utilities can struggle to plan networks effectively, manage loads, and maintain billing accuracy. This can lead to compliance risks, operational inefficiencies, and reduced consumer confidence.
Advanced electricity metering and grid analytics are therefore becoming increasingly
important.
Secure provides a broad portfolio of regulatory-approved meters ranging from grid meters to submeters that support the entire energy value chain - from generation and transmission to distribution and end users. Secure’s meters are COP-compliant at multiple levels, ensuring regulatory conformity.
Meters such as Prometer 100 enable accurate energy accounting and monitoring at
substations, renewable generation sites, and industrial facilities, while transformer-operated meters like Premier 550 support supply quality monitoring and network performance analysis.
For commercial and industrial environments, Secure also offers the Adaptricity cloud-based grid analytics platform, helping network
operators visualise and plan network operations more effectively.
At a consumer level, Secure’s Liberty smart meter range supports SMETS2 and
submetering for individual and multi-tenant buildings, enabling flexible time-of-use tariffs, remote firmware updates and Pay-As-You-Go functionality.
Its latest innovation, Neutrino 100, is a compact certified meter designed for applications including on-street EV charging, submetering and data centres.
