About

Bidgely is an AI-powered energy intelligence platform that helps utility companies personalize engagement with their residential customers — using machine learning to analyze smart meter data and disaggregate household energy usage into appliance-level insights (the "home energy fingerprint"), enabling utilities to deliver relevant energy efficiency recommendations, demand response incentives, and time-of-use pricing guidance to customers at scale. Founded in 2012 in Sunnyvale, California, Bidgely has raised approximately $50 million and serves major utilities including Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E), Consumers Energy, Rocky Mountain Power, and international utility customers.\n\nBidgely's energy disaggregation technology analyzes the whole-home energy consumption pattern from smart meter data to identify individual appliance signatures — detecting when an EV is charging, identifying inefficient HVAC behavior, recognizing when a water heater is nearing end of life, and flagging unusually high usage periods. This appliance-level insight enables utilities to deliver personalized recommendations ("your EV charging is adding $40/month to your bill — shift to off-peak charging to save $25") rather than generic conservation tips. The platform also identifies utility program candidates (customers who would benefit from appliance rebates, time-of-use rate plans, or demand response enrollment) from the disaggregated usage data.\n\nIn 2025, Bidgely competes with Oracle Utilities, Itron (grid analytics), and Uplight for utility customer engagement and energy analytics platforms. The rapid adoption of EVs and distributed energy resources (solar, batteries) creates new complexity in utility grid management and customer engagement — utilities need to understand and manage EV charging patterns, solar export, and battery dispatch at the individual customer level. Bidgely's EV intelligence capabilities have become a key differentiator as utilities navigate the energy transition. The 2025 strategy focuses on growing EV-specific analytics (managed charging programs, grid impact modeling), expanding internationally to European utilities facing rapid electrification, and building carbon tracking capabilities for utilities with net-zero commitments.
