UK Power Networks delivers electricity to around 8 million customers across London, the East and South of England. As electric vehicles and hybrid work change when and where people use power, the grid has become far less predictable, making detailed, timely data essential. With Databricks, the company moved from a traditional data warehouse to a modern platform where teams can store, analyze and experiment with data using AI and machine learning. Unity Catalog governs access to everything from asset conditions and maintenance history to customer vulnerabilities, so only the right people see the right data at the right level. Working in a single, shared environment makes it easier for the data team to collaborate rather than stitching together three or four separate tools. They can now explore new AI use cases, turn experiments into real products faster and give the business sharper insight into changing demand, helping UK Power Networks run a more efficient and resilient electricity network. ✔️Try Databricks for Free: https://dbricks.co/41ha0L7 ✔️ Hear more from our customers: https://www.databricks.com/customers ✔️ Read the Databricks blog: https://www.databricks.com/blog/category/company/customers ✔️ Learn more about UK Power Networks: https://www.ukpowernetworks.co.uk/ 👉 Get Social LinkedIn ► https://www.linkedin.com/company/databricks/ Instagram ► https://www.instagram.com/databricksinc/ Twitter ► https://twitter.com/databricks #dataintelligence #datagovernance #genai
