Gain critical insights into the grid constraints, capacity requirements, and cost implications of electrifying transportation and buildings through a comprehensive Electrification Impacts Study of your service territory.
Our solution encompasses data ingestion, scenario definition, DER adoption propensity modeling, grid impact analysis, cost estimation for infrastructure upgrades, bill impact analysis, benefit-cost analysis, and rates-related mitigation strategy, tailored to your specific needs.
Kevala's Professional and Advisory Services team harnesses our grid data analytics platform to deliver a comprehensive and actionable report that informs long-term distribution planning under various electrification scenarios, ensuring electric utilities can prepare the grid to support policy targets.
Identify and analyze the grid's limitations and future capacity requirements to accommodate the growing electrification of transportation and buildings. Understand the necessary timing and location of investments in infrastructure and evaluate the potential impact on the grid, ensuring reliable and efficient energy delivery.
Make informed decisions about grid infrastructure upgrades by conducting comprehensive cost assessments. Our study provides actionable insights into the potential costs of building additional capacity, enabling you to prioritize investments and minimize the financial burden on customers.
Understand the implications of increased costs on customers and energy justice. Our study examines the potential effects of electrification on different customer segments, enabling you to develop equitable rate structures and identify mitigation strategies to address any disparities in energy affordability and access.
Kevala's Professional and Advisory Services team helps utilities and regulators navigate the complexities of electrification impacts with actionable guidance to support smart investments, strategic planning, and the successful integration of electrification initiatives.
The California Electrification Impacts Study was commissioned by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to determine the distribution grid requirements of state transportation electrification targets.
Kevala analyzed over 100 terabytes of data from Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E), Southern California Edison (SCE), and San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) to explain when, where, and how much utilities will need to invest in grid upgrades.
