Electricity Grid Maintenance Process Optimization
6-12 months | Large Enterprise
Problem
A large electricity grid company sought to optimize its field maintenance operations end to end, spanning procurement, warehouse management, field work management, and asset management.
Action
Served as partner responsible for managing the project in distinct phases:
- Analysis of current-state (As-Is) processes.
- Review of industry best practices and identification of gaps.
- Development of a long list of optimization initiatives with high-level assessment of potential benefits, costs, and implementation effort.
- Prioritization and shortlisting of initiatives supported by detailed financial analysis.
- Development of the overall implementation roadmap.
- Implementation support for selected high-priority initiatives.
Result
- A detailed implementation plan comprising more than 25 initiatives to optimize maintenance operations, with an estimated total savings potential of approximately 18%.
- Realized savings of approximately 6% by the end of the first year of implementation.
- Realized savings of approximately 11% by the end of the second year of implementation.
AI and Data Analytics Driven Maintenance Process Optimization
0-6 months | Large Enterprise
Problem
A large electricity utility company initiated the deployment of advanced AI and data technologies to improve field maintenance operations. The solution leveraged proprietary know-how provided by a local technology startup.
All field workers were equipped with specialized sensors (accelerometers) that captured and monitored movement patterns throughout the workday. AI-based software analyzed this data to model the efficiency of individual workers and teams, distinguishing productive activities from non-productive time and identifying opportunities for operational improvement.
Action
Served as project delivery partner responsible for solution design, testing, and rollout.
The solution was initially piloted with two field-worker teams, clearly demonstrating actionable levers to improve day-to-day operational efficiency.
Following the successful pilot, the solution was rolled out across the entire maintenance organization, covering approximately 1,200 field technicians.
Result
The process redesign helped to reduce the headcount by approximately 150 FTE.
New Product Strategy for an Electricity Distribution Company
0-6 months | Large Enterprise
Problem
An electricity distribution company developed a strategy for non-core products to diversify its revenue sources.
Action
Served as consulting partner on the engagement, which included a comprehensive market assessment of up to 20 potential non-core products, including smart meters with smart-home functionality, fintech payment services, residential EV charging solutions, and bundled products and services linked to electricity provision.
Each product was evaluated against a structured set of qualitative and quantitative criteria and prioritized based on revenue potential and implementation cost.
Result
The resulting strategy identified seven priority products and services expected to account for up to 20% of company revenue over a five-year horizon.
Regional Electricity Consumption Forecast (2020-2030)
0-6 months | Large Enterprise
Problem
A state authority required a ten-year electricity demand forecast to support planning of future generation capacity.
Action
Served as consulting partner responsible for the engagement. The approach involved analyzing electricity demand in each region based on multiple drivers, including household growth, growth of small and medium-sized businesses, expansion of enterprise customers, and development plans of large electricity consumers such as manufacturing facilities.
The analysis was conducted on a regional and territorial basis. The resulting demand model included three forecast scenarios, with key assumptions validated by external experts.
Result
The base-case forecast was approved and used to plan future generation capacity.
