Problem
Utilities face challenges in optimizing energy efficiency programs and managing distributed energy resources (DERs) due to limited visibility into behind-the-meter energy consumption patterns. Traditional methods lack the granularity needed to personalize customer engagement and accurately forecast grid impacts from DER adoption.
Solution
Bidgely provides an energy intelligence platform that leverages non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) technology to disaggregate meter data into appliance-level insights. By applying advanced AI and machine learning algorithms to energy consumption data, Bidgely identifies individual appliance signatures and delivers personalized recommendations to utility customers. This enables utilities to improve customer engagement through targeted home energy reports, optimize demand response programs, and enhance grid planning by accurately forecasting the impact of DERs such as electric vehicles and solar PV. The platform also facilitates energy theft detection and supports the development of new energy-efficient products and services.
Target Audience
