Metering Studies and Energy Data Insights

Turning Meter Data into Actionable Energy Intelligence

Econoler applies advanced metering data analytics to provide real-time measurement and verification and adaptive program design. Using cutting-edge tools and techniques, we organize, analyze, and interpret large datasets from advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) to support utilities in making informed decisions. Our insights guide the deployment of distributed energy resources (DERs), grid-interactive technologies, and demand response programs.

With energy data insights, utilities can:

  • Develop accurate load curves to understand energy efficiency impacts throughout the day and year
  • Quantify real-time demand response impacts by technology
  • Track charge/discharge cycles of batteries, electric vehicles, and other DERs
  • Measure the effects of dynamic pricing on electricity consumption and bills
Econoler

Energy data come in many shapes and sizes. Econoler knows them all.

Our team is experienced in gathering and analyzing energy performance data across a wide range of systems and device types, including:

  • Utility AMI systems
  • Distributed energy resource management systems (DERMSs) and demand flexibility aggregators
  • Connected devices, including thermostats, electric vehicles, and water heater controllers
  • Building automation and management systems
  • Legacy utility billing meter systems

We translate complex data into actionable insights, enabling utilities to optimize operations, improve customer outcomes, and advance decarbonization strategies.



Proven Expertise

Econoler helps utilities quantify the impacts of demand response, DERs, and dynamic rates. With deep experience in winter peaking demand response and key grid flexibility technologies — including cold-climate heat pumps, electric vehicles, and water heaters — we deliver solutions tailored to the Canadian utility context. Our suite of proprietary tools efficiently cleans, organizes, and analyzes large AMI datasets to optimize demand response, energy efficiency, and DER programs.



Sub-Services

We provide expert guidance to integrate advanced metering and measurement strategies into demand-side management (DSM) planning and operations. Our advisory services include reviewing data readiness, selecting appropriate analytical methods, and aligning measurement approaches with evolving grid needs while ensuring AMI investments and demand-side solutions deliver expected results.

Our team supports the design and evaluation of innovative utility rate structures to improve grid efficiency and customer outcomes. From time-of-use and dynamic pricing to demand charges and performance-based rates, Econoler’s rates practice helps utilities align pricing with system needs, customer behaviours, and decarbonization goals.

Econoler uses advanced metering data to understand the impacts of integrating distributed energy resources to enhance grid flexibility and reliability. Our team evaluates load shifting, storage utilization, and demand response strategies, thereby enabling the development of real-time insights, improved grid reliability, and better alignment with decarbonization and electrification goals.

Using 15-minute or hourly billing data, we assess program impacts and customer usage patterns. Our insights support energy, demand, and greenhouse gas savings estimations and inform program improvements.

We develop accurate and defensible baselines using advanced metering data and analytics to support measurement, verification, and program performance tracking. Our work accounts for historical usage patterns, weather, occupancy, and other key variables to establish credible reference points, thus helping utilities quantify savings, assess load impacts, and design effective, data-driven programs.
