Energy providers face major challenges due to the energy transition, rising demand, and digitalization. IT infrastructures must be highly secure, resilient, and flexible to ensure critical processes and meet regulatory requirements (BSI, CRITIS, NIS2).

Project Challenges

• Secure operation of CRITIS systems in line with BSI requirements  
• Protection of sensitive energy data from third-country access  
• Zero-downtime for grid control and customer supply  
• High demands on scalability and automation  
• Integration of legacy IT systems

Sovereign Cloud Group  Solution

The Sovereign Cloud Group (SCG) provides a sovereign cloud infrastructure that can be operated on-prem or at trusted European hosting partners. Built on open-source technologies, automation, and modular architecture, it is tailored to the high security requirements of energy providers.

• Cloud Software Stack (Kubernetes on Bare Metal, OpenStack, SCS, Automatisierung, Self-Service)
• Storage, Managed Kubernetes  Ceph
• Sichere Netzwerke  Zero-Trust-Architekturen 
• High-Performance Hardware

Objectives of the new IT infrastructure

• Digital sovereignty: No dependency on US hyperscalers  
• Compliance: GDPR, BSI CRITIS, NIS2, EUCS  
• Operational security: Fail-safe processes, 24/7 availability  
• Scalability: Flexible adjustment to demand peaks  •
• Future-proof: Modular and expandable platform

With SCG, energy providers gain a sovereign cloud platform that combines security, flexibility, and regulatory compliance. This creates the foundation for ensuring a stable and independent energy supply in the future.
