Utility Companies: a New Application for Artificial Intelligence - in Search of an entrepreneur

I developed an innovative concept - Demand Flexibility Exchange -  based on real cases of clients I served, providing energy consulting services, and which involved the electric power utility.

In this new phase, I imagined using AI companies/entrepreneurs so that utilities take the initiative to propose demand transactions between their clients, aiming at a win-win. 

  • For the utility

    It makes it possible to deliver more energy with the same infrastructure (CAPEX – Capital Expenditure).
     
  • For the clients

    It allows adjusting their contracted demands (and associated costs) vis-à-vis the registered ones.

It is a universal theme (all countries that have an industrial and commercial client base charge by contracted demand) and for each GW transacted it saves tens of billions of USD.

The DFE was developed in conjunction with  Brite.org (the energy innovation institution in the state of Ohio – USA) who helped me create the DFE slide deck and video.

Of course, I can send you a lot of material, but initially I think it would be cool to have a virtual chat. Just send an invite and link to [email protected] and let's  see what happens!!!!
