WattPlan® Grid services are now part of PowerClerk® Analytics

Leverage PowerClerk data for DER planning and analysis

PowerClerk® Analytics expands utility operations and planning visibility of DERs to the grid edge.

Growing amounts of DERs on the distribution grid are causing concerns about maintaining reliability for grid operators and managing uncertainty for planners. PowerClerk Analytics helps utilities connect the dots between accurate DER data and proven engineering and planning tools

Engineering Efficiency

Seamlessly connect engineering teams with up-to-date DER data and future adoption scenarios so they can focus on analysis.

Improve Planning Decisions

Unmask customer load from distributed solar production to increase trust in load forecasts.

Satisfy Key Customers

Automate interconnection application technical screening and hosting capacity analysis to reduce interconnection wait times.

Align internal stakeholders around DER Planning and Forecasting

Distribution & Resource Planning

Load Forecasting

DER Adoption Scenarios
