Can You Trust Your Data? EDF Renewables Says Yes. Their Trust Pays Off

EDF-RE's Sean Mazelli, Project Origination Manager, is working from home, showing his UtilityAPI love in a sticker. “UtilityAPI is awesome! I’m working from home and I just pulled 136 meters."

Three Teams at EDF Renewables Count on UtilityAPI Data to Make a Sale — Here’s How our Data Greases the Wheels of EDF-RE's Workflow
​
The stakes have never been higher than they are right now. 

You can’t afford to throw a lot of money and time at a solar or storage project that won’t pan out for you. But you also can’t afford to walk away from projects your company needs to survive. How can you tell which solar and storage projects will hit your company’s sweet spot? 

So much of this hinges on the quality of your utility data. How much work do you have to do to get it? How fast can you get it? Can you trust it? 

EDF Renewables, a leading power producer and solar provider based in San Diego, uses UtilityAPI. So the answers to those data questions are: 

• almost no effort to get the data
• often only 5 minutes to pull it
• trust it 100%

Step 1: How does their client use energy?
EDF-RE’s business development team uses UtilityAPI kwh/usage data to see how their potential client uses energy. Analysts pull and evaluate data to identify quality leads. Once the analysts identify a potentially viable project, they pass it to an evaluator. 

Step 2: How much does that energy use cost the client?
Evaluation needs UtilityAPI billing/tariff data to understand how much a client’s current energy use is costing the client. The evaluator runs the numbers to make sure the project will pencil out. In order to do that job, they need intervals and the client’s latest utility bill. If it all looks good, the evaluator creates a proposal. 

Step 3: How can the client save money or optimize usage?
The evaluator turns over the proposal to an account representative in sales, who works to close the deal. Equipped with the UtilityAPI data in the proposal, EDFR’s account representative shows the client how EDF-RE can save them money or optimize how they use energy. 

Every time EDF-RE needs high quality data, it’s there for them, thanks to UtilityAPI. They rely on our simple, straightforward authorization process. Our support — should they need it — is fast, responsive, and helpful.​
