Specialized MAISY resources

Tools for decisions that do not fit a standard database request

These resources apply MAISY customer and energy information to two specific needs: demonstrating the utility value of new technologies and helping customers estimate energy use when they do not know their consumption.

Featured resources

Two practical applications of MAISY data

Each resource turns detailed customer information into a focused business or customer-engagement tool.

Utility technology strategy

Business-case evaluations for DER and other technologies

Technology providers and potential partners often need more than a product description to gain utility attention. A utility-specific business case translates an offering into the questions that drive purchase, pilot and partnership decisions.

Estimate addressable customers and adoption potential
Quantify hourly load, peak-demand and energy impacts
Reflect utility rates, avoided costs and program expenses
Present financial results, implementation tradeoffs and value

Customer engagement

MAISY Utility Customer Energy Use Estimator

Many visitors cannot provide annual electricity use, natural-gas consumption or utility cost. The estimator instead asks for familiar information about the home, household or business and develops the energy estimate needed for the next step.

Estimate energy consumption, cost or both
Use questions visitors can answer easily
Embed the estimator in a network sytem of individual computers
Support a product, service or savings proposition
