Bidgely | AI-Powered Energy Analytics for Utilities

MAXIMIZE DSM PERFORMANCE

Programs for the Right Customer. Not the Average Customer.

Speak with an Expert
Regulators want higher savings at lower cost. Budgets are flat. And the customers who can actually move the needle are buried in large populations. Bidgely identifies who can save, which appliance can shift, and who will enroll, at every address.

JOBS TO BE DONE

DSM outcomes you can actually own.

Deliver your Behavior EE savings while uplifting your CSAT.

Appliance-level personalization raises engagement where generic neighbor comparisons go flat.

Cut your per-kW and per-kWh costs permanently.

Precision targeting means fewer wasted incentives and higher-performing enrollees.

Recruit the right customers into every program.

Bidgely narrows a large population down to the customers with the right appliances and the highest propensity to act.

Prove program impact to regulators and executives.

Savings attributed at the appliance level, not modeled estimates. Measurable. Defensible.

USE CASES

Where appliance-level intelligence meets DSM outcomes.

Each use case uses the same appliance-level intelligence layer, so your energy efficiency, demand response, and program marketing teams operate from the same source of truth.

Home Energy Reports (Behavioral EE)

Personalized savings engagement, built to scale.

Legacy HERs flatten over time. They rely on neighbor comparisons, treat different households identically, and struggle to prove savings to evaluators. Bidgely replaces generic with precise.
  • 2+ TWh in cumulative savings across Bidgely HER deployments
  • Pacific Power: 200% of forecast savings in Oregon, 136% in Washington, top CSAT from evaluator
  • Rocky Mountain Power: 41 GWh saved, 25% program cost reduction vs. legacy HERs
  • PNM: 9.2 GWh evaluated savings, 127% of filed goal after redesign
  • SoCalGas: 565K therms saved in year one

Demand Response Targeting & Recruitment

Find the customers who can shift load before you spend a dollar on outreach.

Bidgely reads cooling capacity, EV charger amplitude, charging windows, and pool pump type directly from meter data. No surveys. No proxies. Your recruitment list is built on confirmed shiftable load.
  • 43% lower cost per kW through targeted DR recruitment ($149 vs. $260/kW)
  • 73% improvement in cost-effectiveness for smart thermostat programs targeting top cooling consumers
  • NV Energy: 33,000 EV candidates narrowed to 1,000 targets, 41% click-through rate, 1.2 kW/car load reduction vs. 0.2 to 0.3 kW industry benchmark
  • PSEG Long Island: 70% reduction in on-peak EV charging through targeted TOU coaching

Energy Efficiency Program Targeting & Recruitment

Put every EE rebate in front of the customer most likely to convert.

Traditional EE targeting uses billing data and demographics. It cannot tell a degraded HVAC from a home that just runs hot, or flag a single-speed pool pump, an inefficient water heater, or high-saturation heating. The highest-potential savers go untouched.
  • improved program uptake through appliance-level targeting
  • 15% reduced marketing cost per enrollment
  • NW Natural drove 238% of contracted savings in year one with a 97% realization rate
  • CVA achieved 112% of savings goal
  • 2.5x improvement in weatherization program participation through targeted outreach

AGENTIC AUTOMATION IN DSM

Agents that run your DSM programs. Not just report on them.

Bidgely’s agentic layer runs the DSM workflows your team currently does manually, from program health monitoring to targeting list generation to mid-cycle course correction, without adding headcount.

Agentic Value, Modeled
$3M+

In avoided DSM marketing waste. $4–6M/year in modeled value per utility across DR cost reduction, enrollment lift, and analyst time savings.

DSM Performance Monitor Agent

Monitors every program in your portfolio — DR, EE, TOU, managed charging — against enrollment and savings targets in real time. Flags underperformance mid-cycle before monthly reviews, identifies the root cause, and generates ready-to-act targeting lists for course correction.

Behavioral Engagement Agent

Runs personalized HER campaigns across paper, email, and digital channels continuously. Selects the next-best interaction for each customer from a library of behavioral tips, program promotions, and rate coaching, adapting to each household’s appliance profile, DER status, and savings potential.

Program Targeting Agent

Continuously scores every premise for EE, DR, TOU, and electrification program fit based on live appliance profiles, efficiency ratings, and behavioral signals. Delivers fresh candidate lists to your DSM and marketing teams without manual data pulls or analyst bottlenecks.

GENAI IN DSM PERFORMANCE

Plain-language answers to complex DSM questions.

Bidgely’s GenAI layer gives your DSM, program management, and customer operations teams a conversational interface to the data that drives every targeting decision and savings measurement.

DSM Program Copilot

A GenAI assistant for program managers. Ask plain-language questions about program health, enrollment gaps, and savings trajectory. Example: “How is my summer cooling DR program tracking?” → enrollment vs. target, participation rate, kWh savings vs. target, and key gap drivers.

Home Energy Advisor / Assessment

A conversational AI embedded in your portal or app that helps customers understand their usage, find savings opportunities, and explore program eligibility — with answers grounded in their actual appliance profile, not generic FAQs.

Program Eligibility Explainers

Automatically generated plain-language explanations of why a specific customer qualifies for a rebate, program, or rate plan — embedded in outreach to improve conversion and reduce call center inquiries.
