Utility Companies today generate and retain a tremendous amount of data from meters, billing, operations, and finance.   In addition to using the data for normal business operations, utilities are analyzing data using intelligent models for strategic reporting, predicting outcomes, and other improvement intiatives.   Improvements in technology for data storage and manipulation have enabled handling of huge amounts of data, in the pedabyte range, for conducting these analyses. 

Getting started in setting up business anayltics can be a lot of work, but the investment is worth it.  Beagle Analytics can help you with the process.  Understanding the potential for your utility's business is the first step to extracting value from your data.  Once the potential is understood, the data warehouse must be developed for efficient processing.  Traditional OLTP systems are not designed for big data anaylsis, and  a database appliance must be installed for this function.  Data will be loaded onto the appliance, and analytical tools implemented to achieve the desired analytical results.

Typical situations for utility analytics include
   - 100% analysis of usage and demand for load analysis, load profiling, rate design, and settlements
   -  load forcasting using historical usage, weather, and economic data
   -  predicting outage restoration and scheduling repairs
   -  anticipating customer response to programs and initiatives
   -  trading analysis in utilitiy futures
