Case Study: OG&E improves DSM performance and grid planning with Bidgely Analytics Workbench

Analytics Workbench Improves DSM Program Performance and Grid Planning

OG&E, an Oklahoma-based utility, faced the challenge of improving its demand-side management (DSM) program performance and grid planning. To address this, the utility partnered with vendor Bidgely and utilized its Analytics Workbench product to gain actionable insights from customer time-of-use data.

Bidgely's solution processed raw data to identify nearly 900 customers who were unintentionally raising their peak usage due to a misunderstanding of their rate plan. Through targeted feedback alone, with no new incentives or installations, OG&E cut this behavior by 70%. This success has led OG&E to extend Bidgely's approach to energy efficiency reinforcement and more precise grid planning.
