Energy Software Development Services

Standards and regulations we're compliant with

We know your challenges

Legacy systems, fragmented data most energy operators still rely on siloed SCADA, EMS, and AMI data. Without real-time integration, situational awareness is delayed and decisions get reactive.
Grid instability from renewables as variable generation grows, grid balancing gets harder. Without precise DER visibility and flexible demand-side tools, outages and curtailments rise.
Demand response is still manual load flexibility is critical, but most DR programs are static, slow, or limited to industrial users. Residential DR and VPPs need orchestration-ready infrastructure.
CapEx constraints, O&M overhead regulators are squeezing CapEx approval. Operators must extract more from existing assets.
Cybersecurity at physical scale the attack surface keeps growing, from substations and RTUs to home EV chargers. But security teams are understaffed and legacy endpoints are unpatched.
Workforce gaps in grid IT + OT the talent pool for grid modernization is thin. As digital twins and AI enter the control room, utilities need staff who understand both protection relays and Python.

Let’s empower your energy operation

It’s time to modernize your grid operations, implement secure control layers, and enable real-time coordination across assets.

Let’s Talk

Frequently asked questions

What kinds of energy companies do you work with?

We collaborate with grid operators, distribution system operators (DSOs), energy retailers, renewable energy companies, and infrastructure providers. Whether you’re managing traditional assets, integrating distributed energy resources (DERs), or operating virtual power plants, we develop adaptive software to support your operations.

Do you support integration with existing SCADA/EMS systems?

Yes. We specialize in integrating with SCADA, EMS, AMI, and other control systems—bridging legacy infrastructure with modern real-time analytics and control layers, all while meeting industry standards like IEC 61850 and CIM/XML.

What standards and protocols do your systems support?

We comply with key energy industry standards, including IEC 61850, IEEE 2030.5, OpenADR, NERC CIP, ISO 27019, and CIM/XML. Our solutions are designed for interoperability across distributed and centralized systems.

Can you help us implement DERMS or virtual power plant capabilities?

Absolutely. We build DERMS platforms and grid-edge coordination systems that support real-time telemetry, dynamic load modeling, and orchestration for solar, EVs, BESS, and demand response programs.

How does Sombra improve asset performance and ROI?

Our asset intelligence solutions include digital twins, predictive maintenance models, and simulation tools for rerating and reconfiguration. This allows operators to optimize asset lifespan and reduce downtime and O&M costs.

What does control room modernization look like with Sombra?

We build low-latency dashboards, alerting systems, geo-visualizations, and AI-enhanced decision tools that combine SCADA/EMS, weather, and DER data for faster, more informed operator action.

How do you address cybersecurity concerns in energy environments?

Our architecture adheres to Zero Trust principles, incorporating role-based access control, anomaly detection, device fingerprinting, and compliance with frameworks such as NERC CIP and ISO 27001.

Do you provide AI and machine learning capabilities?

Yes. Our AI solutions support forecasting, outage prediction, anomaly detection, and even reinforcement learning for automated disaster recovery (DR) dispatch. We also build operator-facing AI copilots to support fast decisions in dynamic conditions.

Can you help with workforce training and upskilling?

We develop embedded simulations, digital procedure guides, and custom dashboards to train field technicians and control room operators, thereby reducing reliance on manual processes and institutional knowledge.

What is the typical engagement model with Sombra?

We begin with discovery workshops to gain a deeper understanding of your technical and operational environment. From there, we co-design and implement scalable software solutions tailored to your infrastructure and regulatory context, with continuous support and optimization.
