Foundational AI models: A practical guide for Utilities

AI continues to revolutionize the business landscape, and for utilities, effectively implementing foundation models is crucial for success. These powerful neural networks, initially trained on vast datasets, offer immense potential when tailored to an electric utility's unique operational data and challenges. This customization can be achieved through various methods: parameter-efficient tuning for quick adaptation to specific jargon, fine-tuning for mission-critical applications requiring high precision, and reinforcement learning to align AI outputs with safety and customer service protocols through continuous human feedback. Utilities can adopt AI through practical paths, such as Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), for secure, context-specific answers from internal documents. This approach enables building custom solutions with pre-built tools for specialized needs, as well as comprehensive enterprise integration for real-time anomaly detection and optimized crew dispatch. Strategic AI implementation involves identifying specific pain points, selecting the appropriate customization approach, prioritizing security and privacy (including vendor certifications such as SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001), and initiating small, manageable pilot projects that demonstrate immediate value. The goal is to achieve the right balance for a utility's objectives, ultimately leading to new levels of operational efficiency

Evening the playing field: AI access for all small utilities

Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer exclusive to large utilities, despite their multi-million dollar investments. Smaller utilities, facing similar operational challenges, can now access affordable, scalable AI tools through shared AI infrastructure and services. These solutions enable them to improve predictive maintenance, optimize grid management, and enhance customer service at a fraction of the cost. By embracing partnerships with AI providers, smaller utilities can leverage these advancements to remain competitive, improve service quality, and ensure reliable energy for all communities.

Using generative AI to build key reports for utilities

In today’s fast-changing utility landscape, generative AI is no longer a nice-to-have—it’s essential for staying competitive. By transforming how reports like Asset Condition Assessments, Worst Performing Asset analyses, Executive Team Decks, and Regulatory Compliance documents are created, gen AI offers a faster, more accurate, and insight-rich alternative to manual processes. It doesn’t just automate—it enhances, using real-time data and predictive analytics to uncover trends, improve decision-making, and reduce operational costs. With benefits like increased efficiency, reduced human error, scalable data handling, and smarter resource allocation, utilities can unlock massive value by embracing AI-driven reporting. Getting started means assessing your data quality, choosing the right tools, training your team, piloting small projects, and continuously refining your approach. For utilities ready to future-proof their operations, generative AI is the key to better reporting and better results.
