XXX serves the needs of energy and utility customers with application-centric network solutions via satellite-based and terrestrial connectivity and custom network development.

I have some trouble finding a good translation for 'utility customer'. Thank you in advance for your help.

clients des entreprises de distribution d'énergie
Explanation:
C'est une suggestion.
Les "utilities" selon les pays peuvent être des "compagnies", des "services publics", nationalisés ou non, etc. C'est toujours un peu difficile. Le terme "entreprises" a l'avantage d'être un peu passe-partout.
J'ai aussi noté une fois au passage dans un texte de journal :" entreprises assurant des services essentiels".
