Alation for Energy & Utilities
Navigate Privacy Act Amendments with Confidence
Alation empowers organisations – across energy, utilities, and other critical industries – to meet evolving regulatory requirements with robust data governance, enhanced risk management, and streamlined regulatory compliance.
Alation for Energy & Utilities
Energy and utilities organisations face growing challenges in a rapidly changing regulatory landscape. Regulations like the Consumer Data Right (CDR) and the Australian Security of Critical Infrastructure (SOCI) Act 2018 require secure data management across the energy ecosystem, from generators to distributors, suppliers, and retailers.
The CDR gives consumers control of their data, requiring energy providers to follow strict privacy rules. The SOCI Act enforces stronger security, risk management, and cyber incident reporting.

By adopting the Alation data intelligence platform, we have built a community of data practitioners who clearly understand how accurate the data is, and it’s now easier for them to trust the information. This consistency means we are no longer having discussions about the accuracy of metrics. Instead, we can focus on analytical interpretations of those metrics and their meaning for each business domain.
