In an environment of rising capacity costs and growing load, Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) data can unlock valuable benefits. Understanding this data creates an opportunity for utilities to partner with their customers to maximize system benefits—but extracting actionable insights from this data isn’t easy. At Daymark, we’re helping clients turn raw AMI data into valuable insights for strategic decision making to optimize load management, reduce and defer peak load infrastructure investments, and improve program outcomes. The graph below showcases how analysis of granular AMI data can reveal customer behaviors that traditional analysis might miss. The graph presents summer day load shapes for customers who own solar and storage and are on a time of use rate. The avoidance of on-peak energy consumption (the utility’s on-peak hours indicated by the yellow band) implies that these customers have used technologies and adjusted their behaviors to reduce their on-peak consumption – changes that benefit the broader system. For utilities seeking to harness the full potential of AMI data, Daymark can help: 📌 Analyze AMI data: AMI data accumulates in regular, discrete intervals multiplied by tens of thousands of meters. Analyzing it can be a challenge. Daymark has models, software, and tools to tackle this big data and convert it into compelling charts, visuals, and insights. 📌 Understand load patterns: We identify consumption patterns and customer segmentation to drive decisions about fair cost allocation and advanced rate design.   📌 Allocate costs: The key to fair and equitable rates that reflect cost causation is marrying quality load research with robust cost of service models that fully functionalize, classify, and allocate costs appropriately. 📌 Design rates: We develop fair and efficient rate structures that provide clear price signals for customers, enable full cost recovery for utilities, promote customer equity and beneficial consumption decisions, and maximize grid benefits. 📌 Improve program outcomes: These tools allow our clients to evaluate and improve outcomes for programs designed to achieve policy and operational goals – programs like demand response, time of use rates, and critical peak pricing rates. How is your organization leveraging AMI data? Let’s discuss how we can help you unlock its full potential. Connect with Doron Koll and Timothy Lenell to continue the conversation. #infrastructure #regulation #markets #AMI
