Panoramic Power

Panoramic Power, part of Centrica Business Solutions, pioneered self-powered wireless current sensors that clip directly onto a conductor and harvest their own energy from the magnetic field around it. There are no batteries to replace, no wiring to pull, and no panel shutdown required — an electrician can typically instrument an entire distribution board during a single maintenance window, which is why the platform is so widely used in occupied retail, healthcare, and multi-tenant office buildings where downtime is expensive or simply not permitted.

Each sensor reports circuit-level consumption to a local bridge, which forwards data to the PowerRadar cloud. Because measurement happens per circuit rather than per building, you see exactly which loads — rooftop units, refrigeration racks, compressors, kitchen equipment, EV chargers — drive demand peaks and off-hours waste. That granularity turns a single utility bill into an itemized picture of the building and makes anomaly detection, equipment fault alerts, and load disaggregation practical without a full building automation retrofit.

Emergent Metering deploys Panoramic Power as the fastest path to circuit-level visibility across a portfolio of sites, then integrates the data alongside water, gas, and thermal meters in a single multi-tenant dashboard. It pairs especially well with chain operators who need identical instrumentation replicated across dozens or hundreds of locations on a predictable install cost.
