Overview
Intelligent, digital energy distribution.

As enterprises continue to generate more data that must be stored and protected, they are forced to increase the size of their data centers and draw on additional resources to support and manage them. Hardware, power and cooling requirements for data centers are increasing rapidly, with modern data centers today consuming 10 to 100 times more energy per square foot than a typical office building. This is putting increasing pressure on utilities and governments to look for expertise and consulting services to digitize the distribution of energy throughout the electrical grid, known more colloquially as a Smart Grid. BCC Research says the U.S. market for Smart Grid enabling technologies will grow at a 15.3% CAGR, increasing to $39.4 billion in 2014.

Through its UtiliPoint brand, Midas provides custom research, market data and management, technology and policy consulting services to utilities, regulators, and energy industry service providers both domestically and internationally.
