HM RenewAI is a boutique Tier-2 staffing partner for principal contractors in the UK energy sector. We have been supplying specialist consultants to UK energy programmes since 2015.
We focus on two service areas only — Digital Transformation in Energy and AI Integration in Energy. Every consultant we place has energy sector experience as a prerequisite.
Built for principal contractors. We work as a Tier-2 partner to the principal contractors delivering UK energy programmes.
We don't approach end clients directly. Your client relationship stays yours.
The problem is almost never the technology.
According to McKinsey, 71% of energy AI initiatives are stuck at pilot. 68% of energy executives say legacy OT systems are their main barrier to AI deployment. 74% of energy sector employers cannot find the digital and data skills they need.
The professional who understands substation protection relay behaviour and can also build a modern cloud data pipeline on top of it is extraordinarily rare. Delivery programmes that need this profile cannot find it through standard channels.
The cause is almost never the model. It is the absence of specialists who can connect AI to live SCADA and OT systems, navigate Ofgem compliance requirements, and make the outputs explainable enough for a control-room operator to trust.
Active SCADA and DERMS integration engineers are not posting on LinkedIn. Most are still under contract at the utility or vendor where they shipped their last cutover. We find them through a different route.
From 41 GW to 125 GW between November 2024 and June 2025. Developers and project teams who want to move faster need better analytical tools and specialist support on their side.
A generation of operational technology engineers is leaving the workforce. The institutional knowledge they carry about how grid assets actually behave under fault conditions takes years to rebuild. AI systems can capture some of it — only if someone builds them correctly first.
IEC 61850. IEC 62443. NIS Regulations. Ofgem Ethical AI guidance. ISO 42001. NESO technical standards. Every one of these matters on a live energy delivery programme. Generalist technology contractors arrive unprepared for this environment.
These aren't statements on a wall. They decide who we put in front of you, what we tell you, and what we charge.
The right specialist in the right seat is the only thing that matters.
We act in good faith. If we can't find the right fit, we say so before you have a gap.
We make long-term decisions for our clients and consultants.
Energy sector experience is a prerequisite for every consultant we place.
Daily-rate transparency on every engagement. The rate you agree is the rate you pay.
We work behind the scenes. Our clients keep the client relationship.
Nine capability pillars spanning OT/IT, grid modernisation, AI and compliance — the deep, energy-specific expertise we bring to every programme.
IEC 61850, IEC 60870-5-104, DNP3, Modbus, SCADA, DCS, ICS.
EMS, DMS, SCADA platforms, DERMS, smart grid readiness.
Live OT-connected twins for substations, wind, BESS, distribution.
IEC 62443, NIS2, Claroty, Nozomi, Dragos, network segmentation.
AWS, Azure, GCP, GB CIM, real-time telemetry pipelines.
LSTM, TFT, RL, PINNs, SHAP/LIME, Ofgem XAI compliance.
Scope 1/2/3 infrastructure, TCFD, meter data integration.
MHHS, TMO4+, Ofgem AI compliance, NIS2, GB CIM.
GB CIM, UK Energy Digitalisation Framework, energy data standards.
The highest-premium capability in the UK energy market today: professionals who understand the physics of high-voltage protection and control systems and can architect the cloud, data, and AI pipelines that optimise them.
That's the talent we supply.
The UK energy sector has its own standards, its own regulatory environment, and its own operational constraints — IEC 61850, IEC 62443, the UK NIS Regulations, the GB Common Information Model, Ofgem's AI guidance.
Generic IT talent takes time to get up to speed. Our consultants already know it.
We map our engagement models directly to your programme risk profiles and commercial needs. From agile specialist embeds to fully outsourced delivery, we keep our margins transparent and our delivery focused.
Pay for actual hours and resources consumed. Scope evolves dynamically as the energy delivery programme progresses.
Exploratory builds, R&D, agile delivery, and complex OT/IT systems integrations.
Pre-agreed deliverables at a set cost. HM RenewAI absorbs the scope risk, requiring well-defined programme requirements upfront.
Compliance audits, defined platform deployments, and rigid regulatory submissions.
Secure a dedicated block of hours or guaranteed availability per month. Our specialist team remains on-call for your evolving needs.
Ongoing advisory, managed infrastructure services, and long-term digital partnerships.
We deeply embed individual AI and digital transformation specialists directly into your existing team under your direct management.
Immediate skill gaps and large-scale programmes needing niche specialist OT/IT expertise fast.
Fees are tied directly to measurable business outcomes — such as cost savings achieved, uptime improvements, or emissions reduced.
Performance-sensitive clients, energy efficiency initiatives, and predictive maintenance engagements.
We build and temporarily operate a dedicated capability (such as a data platform, data team, or NOC) before seamlessly transferring full ownership to your firm.
New capability stand-ups and principal contractors currently lacking in-house digital teams.
