About
James Brand, founder
I've spent 26 years in software and data, and the last five hands-on with PLCs, SCADA and plant data on industrial and energy sites. I set up Inerra Impact to give energy boards straight answers about their data, from someone who has worked in the switchroom and the boardroom.
- Siemens S7 PLCs, OPC UA, Modbus TCP and IEC 61850 in the field
- Azure and Microsoft Fabric data platforms, around 15 years in Azure
- Author of The Modern Factory Handbook
- Volunteer Renewable Energy Infrastructure Manager for the 100 Club, Liverpool
An engineer who can talk to a board
Inerra Impact is an independent data and analytics advisory for energy businesses. We help generators, asset owners and investors make sense of their asset data and turn it into decisions they can stand behind.
We have nothing to sell you except advice.
Most people advising generators on data are selling a platform. We have no software, no reseller margin and no ties to any OEM. Our advice follows your assets and your decisions, whichever tools you end up using.

Start with a half-day board briefing
We walk your board through what your asset data can tell you, where it falls short and what to fix first. You leave with a short written summary.
