Scotland businesses to benefit from expanded energy services from IMSERV acquisition

Businesses across Scotland will have access to expanded energy data, metering and engineering services following an acquisition by IMSERV that strengthens a utilities specialist’s presence across the country.

IMSERV has completed a purchase for SP Dataserve, the commercial metering and data services business previously associated with ScottishPower.

The move strengthens IMSERV’s Scottish presence while bringing additional investment, technical expertise and new service capabilities to customers across the region.

Over the next six months, IMSERV will integrate the SP Dataserve business into IMSERV Scotland, with East Kilbride becoming a key hub for the company’s Scottish operations.

Customers will continue working with the same trusted local teams, while gaining access to broader services including advanced data visibility, sub-metering, specialist engineering support and additional gas metering capabilities.

Jo Cox, CEO of IMSERV, said: “Our investment in Scotland is about bringing wider capabilities and deeper support to customers, while keeping the experienced local teams and relationships that customers already value.

“IMSERV will bring a wealth of experience in services such as sub-metering, best in class operations and a highly trained technical field team.

“We have also been developing a leading data platform which will give customers far greater visibility of their energy data and assets.”

IMSERV said Scottish customers would benefit from improved access to specialist metering expertise and operational support as businesses prepare for Market-wide Half-Hourly Settlement (MHHS), one of the energy sector’s biggest upcoming industry changes.

The expanded Scottish operation will also strengthen support for sectors including manufacturing, local government, retail, hospitality and renewable energy projects across the region.

“The SP Dataserve team brings highly skilled operational and engineering expertise into the IMSERV business, helping us continue our focus on asset management and data accuracy, both of which are critical as customers prepare for MHHS.

“This is about building a stronger and broader business in Scotland that gives customers access to more services, more expertise and greater support for the future.”

The business said the move would allow Scottish customers to access additional products and services not previously available through SP Dataserve, including IMSERV Astral data platform and expanded metering solutions.
