Bidgely achieves energy savings of over 1 TWh for its customers worldwide

The major achievement represents over 700k tonnes of CO2 emissions avoided through smart energy efficiency programmes.

Bidgely today announces that it has surpassed the terawatt hour (TWh) of energy savings, offsetting almost 709.000 tons of CO2 emissions. Contributing to this achievement has been its global customer base of utilities and energy distributors, who have implemented Bidgely's AI-powered solutions, including personalized and cost-effective energy efficiency programs, to address decarbonisation and electrification objectives.

“Adding more clean energy to the electric grid to achieve net zero emissions takes decades. Utility providers – and society – need future-ready parallel solutions with immediate impact while supporting more renewables in the grid,” said Abhay Gupta, CEO of Bidgely. "We've been able to offset volumes of emissions that would have required thousands of solar panels, hundreds of wind turbines, and many years to overcome design development hurdles, instead allowing the grid to be used and deployed more intelligently now."

Rocky Mountain Power, a Berkshire Hathaway Energy company, partnered with Bidgely to cut energy consumption by more than 228 GWh, a 25% cost reduction over traditional energy efficiency programs.

Partners Declare

William Comeau, Vice President of Customer Experience and Innovation at Rocky Mountain Power, said, “Transitioning to a sustainable future is a partnership with our customers; it is the data that helps us to propose specific offers for these realities in a targeted way from the point of view of energy efficiency. Thanks to this partnership we help customers to reduce the load during peak hours, we can contain the overall costs for our users and, in the long term, propose more sustainable solutions”.

Adam Grant, director of Electrification and Energy Services at NV Energy, another Bidgely partner that achieved energy savings of 13 GWh in the first year and 40 GWh in the first three years of its energy efficiency program, noted: “ We work hard to be partners with our customers, to teach them how to use energy and reduce their consumption. Thanks to the data and the focused aspect of our business, it's not about general marketing: we evaluate our knowledge on the exact points and reasons of customers' areas of inefficiency and help them become more efficient”.

The impact of 1 TWh in terms of energy savings

Bidgely helps drive customer engagement, awareness and market transformation for large-scale utilities; the programs it proposes have demonstrated how in-depth information based on granular user data can guide investments in this sector, to achieve the pre-established objectives of energy efficiency and sustainability.

The impact obtained with the energy saving of one TWh is equal to the compensation of CO2 emissions for one year generated by:

  • Nearly two natural gas-fired power plants
  • Electricity consumption of approximately 140.000 domestic users
  • Over 784.000.000 pounds of coal burned
  • More than 1.640.000 barrels of oil consumed
  • Approximately 80.000.000 gallons of gas used

Declarations

“Machine learning, theIA and smart meter data enable highly targeted and strategic energy efficiency programs to be implemented. It is an approach that enables the integration of distributed energy resources (DER), grid optimization and increased energy efficiency, to relieve the load on the electricity grid of utilities providers and, at the same time, allows users to save money on bills,” said Ms. Krystal Maxwell, research director at Guidehouse.

“As the electric grid changes and expands as a result of electrification, real-time visibility and optimization of the electric system will become essential,” said Elizabeth Cook, president of the Association of Edison Illuminating Companies) and an industry leader and consultant for nearly two decades. “By analyzing energy and focusing on problems, we can reduce carbon emissions by leveraging the existing electricity grid infrastructure. Programs that manage the production and distribution of energy are not only useful for reducing emissions, but also for improving the regional energy load. With AI-generated insights into customer consumption patterns and informed incentives, utilities can serve customers smarter and further optimize network performance.”

Bidgely's solutions allow you to harness the full power of data, giving end customers awareness and the important and simple actions they can take to improve their energy efficiency and save money. Using patented technology to detect the types of appliances and the cause of inefficiencies, Bidgely's partner utility providers have the opportunity to detect energy waste quickly and intelligently.
