Smart Energy Meters for Precision Power Monitoring and Analytics
Enable accurate, real-time monitoring and intelligent energy use in mission-critical data and AI environments with advanced smart metering.
Smart energy meters provide the detailed visibility and control.
Smart energy meters provide the detailed visibility and control required to manage energy consumption efficiently in today’s high-performance data centers and AI infrastructure. These meters go far beyond basic energy usage reporting by offering real-time monitoring, high-accuracy measurements, and system-wide integration capabilities. From rack-level submetering to multi-circuit power analytics, smart meters support intelligent load management, cost transparency, and sustainability tracking.
EnergyTechForDataCenters serves B2B clients across North America with tailored smart metering solutions designed to meet the demanding energy needs of modern compute environments. By helping businesses gather granular energy data, optimize capacity planning, and comply with regulatory standards, we empower our clients to transform energy from a cost center into a strategic asset. Our commitment to innovation, reliability, and expert guidance enables organizations to build smarter, more scalable power infrastructures.

Case Study
U.S. Hyperscale Data Center
A leading AI cloud provider in Austin required submetering across over 500 racks in its hyperscale data center. We provided multi-circuit energy meters with Modbus TCP support, enabling real-time visibility through their existing DCIM platform. The deployment improved load forecasting and reduced energy waste by over 12% in the first quarter.
U.S. University Campus
A large midwestern university needed to track and optimize power consumption across its research computing labs. By integrating DIN-rail smart meters into existing server cabinets, the university gained lab-level energy visibility. Data from the meters enabled improved allocation of research budgets and supported campus sustainability reporting initiatives.
Canadian Colocation Facility
A Montreal-based colocation center sought to enhance transparency and billing accuracy for its clients. EnergyTechForDataCenters deployed revenue-grade meters at each client rack, fully integrated with BACnet and the facility’s BMS. The implementation resulted in verifiable consumption reports and a measurable reduction in client disputes and power overuse.
