“We are honored to once again be among the ‘Grid Edge’ finalists as we transform the energy ecosystem at the heart of where customers and the grid converge,” said Gautam Aggarwal, chief revenue officer for Bidgely. “We are committed to helping utilities navigate today’s new paradigm of supply and demand, particularly as the need for energy efficiency and transparency prevails.”

Leveraged by utilities across the globe to educate customers on how their individual energy consumption impacts both the grid and their monthly electricity bill, Bidgely’s AI-powered energy insights have contributed to one terawatt-hour (TWh) of energy savings – offsetting nearly 709,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions. Bidgely’s “ 8760 Energy Model ” was recognized in particular by S&P Global Commodity Insights for enabling utilities to comprehensively track customer energy use on an ongoing and iterative basis for all 8,760 hours in the year.

In addition to supporting energy efficiency, Bidgely’s energy insights were acknowledged for helping disrupt traditional business models and improve operational efficiencies organization-wide at Avista.

"Bidgely's behind-the-meter insights have delivered exceptional value, innovation and agility to our operations. We are delighted to be their partner, and being recognized as a finalist in the Platts Global Energy Awards is a testament to the great work we are doing together,” said Latisha Hill, vice president community affairs and chief customer officer at Avista.

Avista partnered with Bidgely on a number of initiatives, including providing its customer service representatives with one-click access to appliance-level consumption information for every home in the territory. Service representatives resolved calls faster – lowering the utility's cost to serve – and reduced its high bill investigation truck rolls by 27 percent in the first year. Avista further utilized those same energy insights within six different utility departments, including System Planning, Product & Services and Engineering, to enhance grid planning. This included accurately identifying heating and cooling loads, hourly usage during substation peaks and aggregate loads on feeders for disaggregated loads.

The winners of the Platts Global Energy Awards will be selected by an independent panel of judges from each award category's respective group of finalists. Winners will be announced December 7 at the 2023 Platts Global Energy Awards black-tie ceremony and gala at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City.
