Utilities across the globe face the challenges of investing capital to replace aging infrastructure, improve reliability, become more resilient to climate change, and accommodate the shift to electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable generation. These evolving demands have shifted billions of dollars of capital into the electric grid, making investment planning more critical than ever.

Despite all that, traditional approaches to capital planning are often insufficient, resulting in plans that focus too heavily on optimizing individual assets rather than making the greatest impact on key objectives across the full grid (reliability, resiliency, energy transition, etc.). Utilities need to take a more holistic approach to grid modernization that maximizes capital efficiency, minimizes customer disruption, increases smart grid investment opportunities, and achieves critical goals.

Our differentiated approach supports your grid transformation plan from start to finish. First, we partner with you to define your grid strategy and translate it to clear, customer-centric objectives. Next, we define a standardized set of investment packages that you can apply across your network. Then we build investment scenarios, using our proprietary optimization tool to develop a grid strategy that achieves your objectives within any constraints of time, capital, or labor. This state-of-the-art tool makes it easy to evaluate trade-offs and pick the optimal plan for your goals.

Our grid modernization approach provides transparency in investment selection and expected outcomes, allowing you to share a clear, customer-centric story with customers, regulators, and other key stakeholders. We work with your team to ensure efficient execution, focusing on supply chain readiness and field crew optimization. Beyond your current grid strategy, we can also work with you to build a repeatable capital production process by aligning the operating model and embedding new tools and capabilities across your organization.

Achieving higher reliability, resiliency, EV-enablement, and net-zero ambitions is all possible with our end-to-end approach. Let us help you make the most impactful investments for your customers. From strategy setting to plan execution, we have the expertise you need to make a lasting impact on your grid operations.
