Bidgely has launched UtilityAI Pro, a groundbreaking vertical artificial intelligence platform built specifically for global utilities, energy providers, and distribution companies. This comprehensive solution enables technology and digital innovation leaders to deploy sophisticated machine learning models within their own preferred data environments. By analyzing advanced metering infrastructure, customer information, and grid data, the platform delivers insights with ten times greater granularity than conventional methods. It provides detailed behind-the-meter visibility into customer behavior, appliance-level energy consumption, and overall grid performance. With more than a decade of specialized utility AI experience, Bidgely supports its platform with 19 patents and processes over a terabyte of energy data daily from customers worldwide.
Utility executives, including Heads of Digital Transformation, Chief AI Officers, and Chief Digital Officers, frequently express concerns about sharing sensitive infrastructure data outside their established cloud systems. Bidgely developed UtilityAI Pro to directly address these reservations. The platform integrates patented, utility-specific machine learning models directly into a utility’s existing data infrastructure, including data lakes and generative AI systems. This allows technology leaders to securely accelerate digital transformation across their entire organization. According to Abhay Gupta, CEO of Bidgely, “Our partnerships with leading cloud providers mean that digital leaders can deploy UtilityAI Pro on their cloud of choice, enabling secure and scalable operational change.”
The utility sector currently faces a pivotal moment, shaped by growing electrification demands, affordability issues, and the urgent need to modernize aging grid infrastructure. Digital and AI officers are spearheading massive investments in data infrastructure to meet these challenges. Until now, a major gap existed: the absence of a centralized AI platform capable of converting vast volumes of smart meter and operational data into actionable business value. A recent industry survey underscores this disconnect, revealing that while over 80% of utility executives view AI and data analytics as strategically essential, only 20% have completed their digital transformation initiatives.
Hunter Horgan, Managing Director of Renown Capital Partners and a Bidgely investor, remarked, “UtilityAI Pro marks a quantum leap in utility data science due to its seamless integration into existing utility infrastructure. This adaptability allows Bidgely to enrich every utility application with granular, behind-the-meter intelligence, significantly boosting the return on investment from current data systems.”
For digital and AI leaders, UtilityAI Pro enhances the value of AI agents and copilots, from any vendor, by enabling them to interact conversationally with powerful insights derived from grid and customer data. This delivers measurable value across multiple operational areas.
