AI Customer Energy Analytics

AI-driven energy usage analysis and personalized recommendations for consumers

The Problem

“AI Customer Energy Analytics for Optimization, Grid Operations, and Safety Inspection”

Organizations face these key challenges:

1

EV charging and battery storage can create new demand peaks if not coordinated

2

Commercial and campus sites lack real-time optimization for autonomy and grid import reduction

3

Grid operators face limited visibility into emerging congestion across increasingly dynamic networks

4

Static thresholds generate too many false alarms and miss complex congestion precursors

5

Manual nuclear inspections are dangerous, slow, and difficult to scale

6

Inspection image review quality varies by operator and shift conditions

7

Energy usage data is fragmented across meters, DER systems, SCADA, IoT platforms, and image repositories

8

Operational teams need explainable recommendations they can trust and act on quickly

Impact When Solved

Reduce commercial site peak demand charges by optimizing EV charging and battery dispatchIncrease on-site renewable self-consumption and energy autonomy for campuses and commercial facilitiesImprove congestion forecasting accuracy for grid operators using multi-source telemetry and weather dataShorten operator response time with AI-generated congestion risk alerts and recommended actionsReduce manual inspection exposure in radioactive environments through autonomous visual anomaly detectionImprove defect detection consistency and auditability with computer vision modelsDeliver personalized consumer energy-saving recommendations based on usage patterns and tariff structures

The Shift

Before AI~85% Manual

Human Does

  • •Review monthly billing and usage reports to identify high-bill customers and broad segments
  • •Manually pull campaign and program eligibility lists for outreach and retention efforts
  • •Investigate customer complaints about bill shock, abnormal usage, or outages after inbound contact
  • •Prioritize efficiency, TOU, and demand response targets using static rules and analyst judgment

Automation

  • •Apply basic threshold flags for high bills or unusual account changes
  • •Generate periodic summary reports and simple customer segment counts
  • •Produce standard billing and usage comparisons against prior periods
With AI~75% Automated

Human Does

  • •Approve outreach strategies, offer rules, and customer treatment priorities based on AI recommendations
  • •Review escalated anomaly, bill shock, and churn-risk cases that require customer-specific judgment
  • •Decide actions for sensitive segments, exceptions, and regulatory or customer experience concerns

AI Handles

  • •Continuously analyze interval usage, billing, weather, tariff, and participation data to micro-segment customers
  • •Predict churn risk, bill shock, peak contribution, and likelihood to respond to TOU, DR, or efficiency offers
  • •Detect abnormal usage patterns, potential meter issues, and emerging customer problems for proactive triage
  • •Recommend next-best actions and prioritized outreach lists for retention, demand flexibility, and efficiency programs

Operating Intelligence

How AI Customer Energy Analytics runs once it is live

AI runs the first three steps autonomously.

Humans own every decision.

The system gets smarter each cycle.

Real-World Use Cases

AI emergency scenario simulation for nuclear plant response planning

AI runs thousands of nuclear emergency what-if drills on a computer and helps choose the best response before a real problem happens.

EV and battery scheduling for site energy autonomy

AI and optimization decide when a site should charge or use electric vehicles and stationary batteries so the building can rely more on its own energy and less on the grid.
