15+ yr.
Historical depth

More than a decade of trended data so your team can read the direction, not just the current level.

Peer-grouping methodology

  • 01 State co-ops — distribution co-ops in the same state, the most direct apples-to-apples comparison.
  • 02 Statewide — all utilities in the state.
  • 03 Neighboring utilities — co-ops, IOUs and munis adjacent to your service territory.
  • 04 National co-ops — the big picture for co-ops across the country.
Reporting

What your team actually sees.

Power BI dashboards for each of the major topics we cover. These dashboards allow you to dive deep into any combination of distribution utilities you need. Benchmark against your neighbors or identify industry leaders to emulate.

Major-event-day adjusted

Reliability metrics calculated per IEEE 1366 standards, with the storm-day exclusion methodology your engineers expect.

Inflation-adjusted financials

Dollar figures normalized to the current year so trended views reflect real changes, not price-level drift.
