Why Fractal
Utilities can’t improve what they can’t measure. Fractal delivers the speed and accuracy to analyze every meter, every bill, every program — in real time, without risk to your systems of record.
The Challenge
Legacy systems are too slow to analyze 100% of meter data — they rely on samples that miss the consumption patterns where waste and inefficiency hide.
Fractal processes your entire customer dataset — every meter, every interval — in minutes instead of hours, giving you a complete and accurate picture.
Environmental and efficiency programs are hard to measure and optimize at scale. Without accurate program-level measurement, you can’t prove impact or improve results.
Virtual meters aggregate any customer group in real time — program participants, sub-groups, reference groups — so you can measure and verify every program’s impact precisely.
AI and data innovation carry existential IT risk: enterprise AI that writes to your databases can corrupt your systems of record, putting critical operations at risk.
Fractal’s digital twin architecture runs entirely in parallel — it reads your data but never writes back to your systems of record, so there is zero risk of corruption.
Replacing legacy billing and metering systems costs tens of millions of dollars and years of disruption — too slow for the pace of energy transition.
Fractal deploys in 90 days alongside your existing systems at 90% less cost — eliminating the need for expensive rewrites while delivering immediate results.
The Fractal Approach
A parallel system that mirrors your data environment in real time — reading your systems of record, running AI and analytics, and writing results to its own isolated data store. Zero write risk. Zero disruption.
Fractal Programming processes full customer datasets in minutes, not hours. What legacy systems accomplish with samples in 12 hours, Fractal completes across 100% of your data in minutes.
Deployed in a single business quarter at a fraction of legacy system cost — eliminating the need for multi-million-dollar rewrites and the years of disruption that come with them.
Environmental Impact
Program Measurement & Verification runs against 100% of program participants — not samples — so you know exactly which conservation and efficiency programs are working, and can allocate resources to maximize impact.
Demand forecasting across 100% of your customer base — not a data subset — produces more accurate forward-looking bids and procurement decisions, reducing over-generation and the emissions it creates.
Customer data portals give every customer real-time access to their consumption data, green energy metrics, budget forecasts, and rate scenario analysis — turning awareness into behavioral change.
