1.
​Analyze the nature of the opportunities that electrification present for your utility

2.
​Design tailored programs and strategies to deliver revenue growth and emissions savings

3.
​Evaluate program performance and monitor grid for "success risks"

Play both sides of the ball

Some utilities have started to push the adoption of electrification technologies. Some are worried about the grid impacts. Set your utility on a path to capture the benefits and mitigate the risks. 

Grow Load. Mitigate Risks.​

Why Sagewell?

Deep industry knowledge

Sagewell has worked with many different kinds and sizes of utilities, from small public power to large investor-owned utilities and have helped them solve a range of problems and identify real opportunities for growth.

World-class analytics tools

The SageSight platform comes loaded with analytics tools specifically designed for today's utilities. Our cutting edge technology delivers analysis at the speed of thought, and we make full use of these tools with all of our utility partners.

Game-changing data

​Through our work with utilities nationwide we have developed a deep well of customer and end-use data. Our unique data warehouse allows even the smallest of utilities to gain insights from big data.

Tailored solutions

​​Sagewell takes the time to understand your unique priorities and challenges, and tailors our services to fit. Our detail-oriented team will dive into the heart of a subject and work collaboratively with you to find the deep insights.

Case study 1:
Economic impact of EVs

Sagewell partnered with a large municipal co-op to evaluate the impacts and opportunities of electric vehicles for their members. The analysis used detailed data on charging behavior to model demand costs, peak load impacts, new revenues from charging, energy procurement costs and carbon emissions impacts. The result was a robust accounting of the dollar value of EVs to these municipal utilities, including both revenue and contribution margin impacts. We determined that for one group of utilities the margins growth opportunity was considerable and warranted investment, while the second group of utilities would benefit from a more patient approach.

Case study 2: Measures of stressed transformers

 A well-rounded electrification strategy includes a sober review of potential grid impacts. A large investor owned utility is using Sagewell to identify transformers across their system that are struggling to maintain voltage under load or are exhibiting signs of stress. We deployed our SageSight analytics to scan hundreds of billions of voltage intervals to develop algorithms and metrics to pro-active transformer monitoring. Increasing load from electrification needn't break the grid.

Case study 3: Strategies for heat pump adoption

We partnered with a large mid-western utility to produce a end-to-end heat pump electrification strategy. Phase 1 determined the revenue and margins impact of each additional heat pump, stratified by geography and property type. Phases 2 and 3 designed a plan for capturing the opportunities identified in phase 1. The end result was a calibrated approach that targeted the zip codes with high propane penetration and prioritized centrally ducted systems as whole-home solutions.
