Hear from Abhay Gupta on how Bidgely is helping Canadian utilities use AI to manage electrification, support data-center growth, improve grid resilience, and protect customer affordability.

Strategic Alignment

BC Hydro has committed to some of the most ambitious demand flexibility targets in North America.

Power Smart 2.0 is not just a participation challenge. It is an optimization challenge: turning customer programs into measurable resources for conservation, flexibility, affordability, and long-term system planning.  It requires understanding which customers can save energy, shift load, reduce costs, and contribute measurable value to the grid.

01

Conserve

Unlock 2,200 GWh of annual energy savings.

Increase participation across energy efficiency, affordability, electrification, and demand response programs through customer-level targeting and personalized engagement.

02

Optimize

Turn customer programs into grid resources.

Move beyond enrollment metrics to understand how customer programs contribute to capacity value, load flexibility, and system reliability.

03

Build

Avoid unnecessary infrastructure investment.

Use premise-level insights to understand where flexibility already exists and where customer behaviour can defer costly upgrades.

The Opportunity

Power Smart 2.0 requires more than broad outreach.

Traditional customer programs often rely on mass-market engagement strategies that treat customers with very different energy profiles the same way.

As electrification accelerates and demand grows, utilities need a more precise understanding of who can save energy, who can shift load, and where capacity value actually exists.

Traditional Model
  • Broad outreach
  • Generic segmentation
  • High acquisition costs
  • Limited visibility
Future State
  • Precision targeting
  • Flexible load identification
  • Program orchestration
  • Grid-aware engagement

Platform Evolution

From pilot project to UtilityAI Platform.

BC Hydro's needs have evolved. So has Bidgely. Today's platform combines customer intelligence, affordability analytics, demand flexibility, electrification insights, grid intelligence, and generative AI capabilities into a unified utility platform.

Then

Narrow pilot use case

Earlier utility pilots often focused on isolated engagement or analytics needs, with limited connection to enterprise-wide grid and customer outcomes.

Today

Unified intelligence layer

Bidgely now supports energy efficiency, demand response, affordability, electrification planning, customer engagement, distribution planning, and grid modernization.

Result

1.5+ TWh

Cumulative energy savings enabled across utility programs.
