Predictive and intelligent decision support for Avista

Our client, Avista is an American energy company involved in the production, transmission, and distribution of energy as well as other energy-related businesses with a particular focus on innovation, sustainability, and clean sources of energy. In 2020, approximately 60 percent of its electricity came from renewable sources.

Like any other utility company, Avista needed a decision support system to make better decisions about procurement, and best utilization of their resources. Keeping overall system fuel, operations, and maintenance costs low and more importantly ensuring a reliable balance of demand and supply, a concept in its industry called “security-constrained economic dispatch.”

Avista chose Nagarro as its technology partner to help them conceptualize and build the right technology solution for this challenging task of making sense of almost real-time data from various sources both across the organization and outside. Together, Nagarro and Avista built a data-enabled decision support application to help better meet the power demand, either by production or procurement.
