We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Utility Companies", and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest. Let me be your guide.
 
Start with the news release Safety system contains diesel from ISS Safety, which we summarised at the time by saying "Chemi-safe is designed to ensure diesel is prevented from leaking or spilling into the water table during the unloading process from the delivery tanker". A few weeks before, we featured the news release EA gets active at CIRED from EA Technology: "EA Technology has had nine papers accepted for CIRED 2007, and will present seven of them at the conference".
 
In April 2007, we covered the news from MetaSphere concerning its Smart Telemetry Solutions - take a look at Remote telemetry units manage dispersed assets which says: "MetaSphere's Smart Telemetry Solutions provide a range of methods for employing telemetry data to improve business operations".
 
Take a look also at the news release from EA Technology, UK lags behind in energy storage, as well as Making more from telemetry data from MetaSphere, and Nuclear inspection scanner still on the job from Phoenix Inspection Systems.
