Power up your grid planning with behind-the-meter 8760 visibility. Confidently plan grid optimization that accounts for DER adoption and demand-side shocks, while also uncovering opportunities for untapped load reduction and shifting. Conduct Non Wire Alternative (NWA) analysis by overlaying load-constrained assets with load-shifting opportunities, optimizing NWA outcomes, and unlocking substantial savings on infrastructure and operating costs.
Past grid planning tools will not suffice the need of the future
The energy landscape is undergoing a transformation, with clean energy initiatives and the rise of distributed energy resources (DERs) moving the industry toward an increasingly decentralized system. Utilities must now manage intermittent supply amid changing demand profiles due to the ‘electrification of everything’.
To navigate this, utilities require bottom-up, AMI data-based advanced analytics and modeling tools to identify trends, plan scenarios, and anticipate future energy usage patterns, including the impact of extreme weather events.
Today, customer-owned assets are often overlooked because they are invisible to grid operators and planners. However, if exposed they could represent a huge opportunity for NWA and grid resilience.

We embed Behind The Meter (BTM) asset visibility enabling the future of grid planning
Bidgely UtilityAI™ delivers detailed behind-the-meter intelligence about customers' energy consumption patterns hour-by-hour, by 12 distinct appliance types (including EV and solar), across different geographic areas and rate plans. Harnessing the power of big data technology, utilities can leverage this meter-up approach to enable grid operators to manage the grid on a granular scale, home-by-home, and asset-by-asset
Armed with this detailed understanding of load patterns, utilities are better positioned to formulate strategic actions and delve into granular details of temporal and spatial forecasts, capturing crucial insights down to hourly variations and regional disparities. This granularity in data enables utilities to anticipate and aptly prepare for future grid requirements. From substations to feeders and transformers, Bidgely’s solution identifies potential constraints that utilities may face, thereby empowering them to build resilience into their infrastructure.
Our difference comes from the industry’s most accurate load disaggregation
With the industry’s most accurate and precise disaggregation technology, Bidgely’s DER Grid Planning Solution can produce grid need assessments for a variety of future scenarios and forecasts based on the actual DER penetration today. This enables utilities to take advantage of the DERs on their system for flexibility through disaggregated Non-Wires Alternative Designs.
