Major IOUs trust IA analytics for the decisions that shape the distribution grid's future.
Investor-owned utilities face the most demanding combination of planning challenges: IDP regulatory requirements in multiple jurisdictions, large interconnection queues for EVs and distributed solar, aggressive state clean energy mandates, and capital programs that run into the hundreds of millions. IA's analytics suite is deployed at major IOUs across the country — providing the feeder-level load forecasting, DSM cost-effectiveness analysis, and DER dispatch optimization that large utility planning organizations require.
Get in touchThe questions IA analytics helps you answer
Multi-state regulatory requirements
IOUs operating across multiple jurisdictions face different IDP requirements, different DSM cost-effectiveness test standards, and different locational value frameworks — all requiring defensible, auditable analysis.
High-volume interconnection queues
Major IOUs receive hundreds to thousands of DER interconnection requests annually. Evaluating each against actual distribution capacity requires locational, circuit-level analysis at scale.
Complex DER integration
High DER penetration — rooftop solar, batteries, managed EV charging — creates bidirectional power flow, voltage management challenges, and load shape changes that require sophisticated planning and operational tools.
Large capital program justification
Billion-dollar distribution capital programs require documented analytical support — showing regulators and investors that investment decisions are based on rigorous locational analysis, not system-level averages.
Tools designed for your challenges
IA’s analytics suite addresses the full planning cycle — from long-range load forecasting through DSM program valuation to real-time DER dispatch optimization.
LoadSEER Enterprise
Full-depth geospatial load forecasting with SCADA, AMI, and GIS integration — deployed at PG&E, Xcel, Dominion, Eversource, Exelon operating companies, and others.
DSMore
The industry standard for DSM cost-effectiveness analysis — accepted by utility commissions in 30+ states including California, New York, and Illinois.
IDROP
Real-time DER dispatch optimization — coordinates demand response, batteries, and smart EV charging to defer infrastructure and maintain reliability under high DER penetration.
