a large US-based utility corporation boosts energy savings 23% with C3.ai

A large US-based utility corporation faced challenges in meeting its enforceable goal to reduce customer energy consumption by 20% by 2020. The utility lacked an AI-enabled system to automate data collection and provide intelligent recommendations, and there were gaps in the quality and quantity of available customer data. To address this, they engaged C3.ai and implemented the C3 AI Energy Management application.

C3.ai configured its Energy Management application to unify data from over 20 sources and generate AI-powered insights and recommendations for customers. This solution enabled the utility to surpass its goal, achieving a 23% reduction in customer energy consumption. The program led to over $500 million in energy savings for participants and provided the utility with a platform to offer new energy products and advisory services.
