Cloud Transformation for the Energy Sector

From utilities to renewables and oil & gas, D55 helps energy leaders modernise operations, cut costs, and achieve sustainability goals with AWS cloud solutions.

Why Energy Needs Cloud Transformation

Energy companies are under pressure like never before. Rising demand, stricter regulations, and ambitious net-zero targets expose the limits of legacy system. To compete, energy providers need infrastructure that’s flexible, scalable, and built for real-time decision-making.
AWS cloud enables energy firms to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and innovate faster, without compromising security or compliance. See our energy sector case study to learn more.

Frequently Asked Question

Find quick answers to common questions about our services, processes, and how we help you with your tax and financial needs.

1. What is the AWS Energy Competency and why does it matter?

image

The AWS Energy Competency is a recognition awarded to partners who have proven expertise in delivering energy-specific cloud solutions. By choosing an AWS Energy Competency Partner like D55, you get the assurance of AWS-validated best practices and solutions built for compliance, scalability, and innovation.

2.  How does cloud transformation reduce costs for energy companies?

image

Migrating to AWS eliminates the expense of maintaining legacy infrastructure. With on-demand scalability, you only pay for the resources you use, and automation helps reduce manual processes. Our AWS Billing Services also ensure transparency and cost optimisation. Many D55 clients in energy have reported 30%+ savings post-migration.

3.  Is AWS cloud secure enough for sensitive energy data?

image

Yes. AWS meets the strictest global security standards (ISO, PCI, SOC, GDPR, and more). At D55, we add industry-specific compliance layers, ensuring your operational and customer data is fully protected in hybrid or cloud-native environments.

4. Can AWS solutions support sustainability and ESG reporting?

image

Absolutely. AWS cloud makes it possible to automate emissions tracking, generate real-time sustainability dashboards, and meet ESG reporting requirements. D55 has helped renewable providers streamline compliance reporting with AWS-native tools, supported by our system integration services.

5.  Do we have to move everything to the cloud at once?

image

Not at all. With D55’s phased migration approach, we start with high-value workloads and run pilot projects to demonstrate ROI. From there, we design a roadmap that balances business continuity with transformation goals. Our AWS Optimisation and Licensing Assessment can help you identify where to start for maximum impact.

6. Which types of energy companies can benefit from D55 services?

image

We’ve worked with utilities, renewable energy firms, and oil & gas operators. Whether you’re modernising billing systems, enabling smart grids, or building compliance dashboards, our solutions are tailored to your sector’s needs.

7. How quickly can we start seeing results?

image

Every project is different, but many energy clients begin seeing measurable improvements — like faster reporting or cost savings — within weeks of initial migrations or dashboard deployments.

What our Clients Say

“While we led the initial business scoping and discussions with key stakeholders, it was a very smooth process working the D55 team to expand on this vision. The D55 team took ownership of building the solution and worked closely with us throughout the process. The quality of the work, combined with the excellent support during the handover, is exactly what we value in a partner.”

" D55 enabled us to migrate from on-premise to a cloud-based solution, resulting in monthly cost savings of about 40%. Cloud-based systems give us a high level of resiliency and an unlimited capacity to scale. We’ve really put in place the foundations for later phases of work and further cost reduction as we scale. It was a partnership as opposed to a service - we work well together. "
