About sgcSmart ®

sgcSmart®

Your Energy Data Gateway

​

sgcSmart was founded to solve a growing challenge across the energy and property sectors: accessing accurate smart meter data in a way that is secure, compliant, and straightforward.

​

For too long, data access has been expensive, fragmented, and difficult to navigate. Many organisations have relied on estimated bills or assumed consumption profiles when making important recommendations.

​

We believe access to real energy data should be simple, secure, and professionally governed.

​

Secure Access. Protected Consumers. Trusted Platform.

​

At the heart of our platform is sgcSmart Connect — a secure, consent-driven gateway providing authorised access to real smart meter data via the UK Smart Meter Network.

​

Access is strictly limited to authenticated and authorised users. We operate a passwordless authentication model, eliminating the risks associated with traditional credentials while ensuring strong identity verification. There is no anonymous access and no open data exposure.

​

Every data request is attributable to a verified account, creating full transparency, traceability, and accountability across the smart energy ecosystem.

​

Built in alignment with the Smart Energy Code (SEC), our authentication-first architecture enforces controlled access to regulated data, maintains comprehensive audit trails, and applies role-based permissions aligned to the principle of least privilege.

​

Security is not an add-on — it is embedded by design to protect consumers and uphold industry confidence.

​

Making Data Access Simple

​

sgcSmart Connect removes the complexity from accessing smart meter data through a secure, structured, and fully compliant process.

​

Our platform enables authorised businesses and housing providers to retrieve verified half-hourly consumption data — replacing guesswork with evidence and assumptions with accuracy.

​

Everything we do is built around:

  • Security

  • Consent

  • Compliance

  • Transparency

  • Professional accountability

​

Why It Matters

​

As regulatory expectations increase across renewable energy, housing, automotive, brokerage, and property markets, organisations are expected to properly understand their customers before making recommendations.

Accurate data supports:

​

  • More appropriate system design

  • Better-informed advisory services

  • Improved retrofit planning

  • Stronger audit trails

  • Responsible duty of care

​

By enabling secure, consent-based access to real smart meter data, sgcSmart helps organisations operate with clarity, confidence, and accountability.
