Industry agent in preparation: Energy utilities
Run the utility on governed AI.MeshVolt is ASG™, the Arrochar Superintelligence Guardrails, packaged for energy utilities.
The suite packaged for the operations of an energy utility: connections and metering, outage and fault management, asset maintenance, works and contractors, market settlement, customer billing and hardship, safety incidents and the reporting an energy regulator expects, as governed AI agents that never take a real-time control action on the grid.
For electricity and gas network operators, generators, retailers, market operators and the energy regulators they report to.
What exists today, and what does not
This package is named and its scope is written. The service catalogue, the service pages, the agents, the gates and the evidence records are not yet built, and nothing runs for a customer. The rails it will run on, AIG Sentinel and Meshbone, exist today and are the same rails MeshGov runs on. When the first service is built we will say which one, and until then the status on this page stays as it is.
What the MeshVolt catalogue is being written to cover
The operations of energy utilities, as governed AI services. Each line below will become one or more services in the catalogue, with its own page naming the agents, the decisions that stay with a person, the records it keeps and the standards it is mapped to. Until then this is scope, not a product.
- Connections and metering: applications, offers, meter installs, the rooftop solar and battery connections, and the obligations each connection creates
- Outage and fault management: the customer notified, the crew dispatched, the life-support customers protected and the restoration recorded, with switching left to the control room
- Asset maintenance and inspection: work orders, condition records, defects, vegetation management and the replacement programme
- Works, contractors and field safety: permits, competencies, site access and the authorisations each job needs
- Market settlement and reconciliation: meter data, transfers, settlement statements and the disputes raised with the market operator
- Customer billing, hardship and disconnection, with every disconnection decision taken by a person under the consumer protection rules
- Safety and environmental incidents: logged, investigated and notified to the safety regulator within the statutory time
- Reporting to the energy regulator, the market operator, the critical infrastructure regulator and the board, from one evidence chain
The baseline we expect to align to
We expect to align the network and market services to the IEC Common Information Model (IEC 61970, IEC 61968 and IEC 62325), to place them on the Smart Grid Architecture Model, to align asset management to ISO 55001, to respect IEC 62443 and the sector's cyber security framework at the boundary with operational technology, and to take each jurisdiction's energy rules, market procedures, consumer protection rules and critical infrastructure obligations as the policy source. Arrochar Labs is not an IEC or ISO member, and neither has reviewed anything here. MeshVolt is an operations package. It will not switch the network, dispatch generation or take any real-time control action, and no service in the catalogue will be written to. The choice of baseline is not final and will be stated on the service pages when the catalogue is published.
The same way as MeshGov and MeshFin
Every industry agent follows one formula. AIG Sentinel defines the policy, Meshbone enforces it at run time, Nanolitte carries the controls into reusable service templates, Databallast controls what data the agents may access, agentVIKING™ guards every agent, and the evidence chain records what happened. The catalogue for this industry will name its services, the decisions that stay with a person, and the standards it is mapped to, service by service, exactly as the MeshFin catalogue does for banking. Once the catalogue is published, MeshAgentDesigner shapes the pack to one organisation: by watching the work, by reading a drawing, or by configuration.
How it fits together
A complete suite of AI governance agents. An architecture that makes them accountable.
Each part of ASG™ does one job, in order, and hands the next part something it can check. That is the difference between building AI agents and running them so an auditor, a regulator or a minister can see what happened.
Before the first build, Orbit Roadmaps finds where AI creates value and profiles the risk.
After it, Execdive turns what the chain recorded into plain-language insight for executives.
Policy, enforcement, templates, data, controls, evidence. Then services.
This describes the architecture, not what every deployment runs today: 5 of the 27 agentVIKING™ controls are still in development.
- AIG Sentineldefines policy
- Meshboneenforces policy at run time
- Nanolittecarries the controls into reusable service templates
- Databallastcontrols what data the agent may access
- agentVIKING™is the control set across every agentAcross every step
- Evidence chainrecords what happened
- MeshGovuses the whole thing for government services
- MeshFinuses the whole thing for banking and financial services
