The problem
What's costing your utilities & energy providers time and money right now.
Customer service calls overwhelm your contact centre
Billing queries, meter reading questions, tariff changes, payment plans. The same 15 questions account for 70% of call volume. Your agents handle them one at a time while the queue grows.
Outage communication is reactive and slow
Customers find out about outages from neighbours, not from you. By the time your team sends updates, social media is already full of complaints. Every outage becomes a reputation event.
Meter reading and billing errors create disputes
Estimated readings drift from actuals. Customers dispute bills. Your team spends hours investigating each complaint manually, pulling data from multiple systems to reconcile.
Regulatory reporting consumes analyst time
Ofgem submissions, complaint reporting, vulnerability assessments, price cap compliance. Each report requires data from multiple systems, manual compilation, and review. The same analysts who should be improving operations are stuck producing reports.
Services for Utilities & Energy Providers
Six AI systems designed for how utilities & energy providers actually work.
Customer self-service portal
An AI that answers billing questions, explains tariff options, walks customers through meter readings, and handles account changes. Deflects 60-70% of inbound queries without a human agent touching them.
Customer acquisition and retention
AI identifies customers at risk of switching, drafts personalised retention offers, and scores new leads by lifetime value potential. Your retention team focuses on the accounts that matter most.
Billing and meter data automation
AI reconciles meter readings against historical patterns, flags anomalies, generates accurate bills, and routes disputes to the right team with full context. Billing errors drop by 40-60%.
Outage detection and communication
AI monitors network data, detects outage patterns, generates customer notifications, and provides real-time restoration estimates. Customers hear from you before they call you.
Tariff optimisation and upselling
AI analyses usage patterns and identifies customers on the wrong tariff. Generates personalised recommendations that save the customer money while improving your revenue mix.
Team training embedded in delivery
Your contact centre staff and operations team learn the AI systems during the build. By launch, they're confident with the tools because they've been shaping how they work.
Real-world applications
What this looks like in practice.
Automated billing query resolution
Customer contacts you about an unexpectedly high bill. AI pulls their meter data, compares against previous periods, checks for tariff changes or estimated readings, and provides a clear explanation. If the query is straightforward, it resolves without an agent. If it needs investigation, the agent gets a full brief.
Proactive outage communication
Network fault detected at 6am. AI identifies affected postcodes, cross-references with customer accounts, sends SMS and email notifications with estimated restoration time, and posts updates to social media. By 7am, customers know what's happening before they pick up the phone.
Regulatory report automation
Quarterly Ofgem submission due. AI pulls data from CRM, billing, complaints, and vulnerability registers. Compiles the report in the required format, flags data gaps, and presents a draft for review. What took an analyst 3 days now takes 2 hours of review.
