Energy & Utilities
Reporting That Keeps Up With the Grid
Allston Yale builds energy analytics for mid-market energy and utility companies in Texas and across the USA. We help lean IT and operations teams turn data from meters, the grid, field crews, and the back office into a clear view they can act on.
01
Data-Rich and Insight-Poor
Few sectors generate more data than energy and utilities, and little of it turns into a timely answer. Readings, sensors, outages, and regulatory figures pile up across separate systems. We connect them so the picture is current instead of pieced together after the fact.
02
What Energy and Utilities Analytics Covers
Energy and utilities analytics spans the operation. It tracks consumption and load across the network, reliability and outages in the field, the condition and performance of aging assets, and the figures regulators expect on a fixed schedule.
Most teams do not need all of it on day one. We start with the pressure point, often reliability reporting or a rate case built by hand, and grow from a number your regulators or board already scrutinize.
03
Built for Lean Energy and Utility IT Teams
A mid-market utility or energy company rarely has a large analytics group, yet it answers to regulators, boards, and customers who expect reliability. We build data analytics in utilities a small team can maintain, so reporting does not rest on one engineer’s spreadsheet.
04
From Meters, Grids, and Field Data to Dashboards People Trust
Your data lives in systems like SCADA, your meter or AMI platform, GIS, the outage management system, and billing or CIS. We bring those together into utility data analytics your operations and finance teams can read, instead of waiting on a custom report.
The point is one trusted view. When operations, finance, and the regulatory team look at numbers that agree, the discussion turns to the response rather than to whose system is right.
05
Regulatory Reporting Without the Scramble
Regulatory and rate-case reporting is where the hours disappear. Once the data is reconciled and governed, the same foundation produces reliability metrics, rate-case support, and board figures consistently, cutting manual assembly and the risk of a number not tying out.
06
Built on Power BI and Microsoft Fabric
We build energy analytics on Microsoft Power BI for the dashboards and Microsoft Fabric for the data platform underneath. For the reporting craft see our Power BI consultant page, and for the platform see our Microsoft Fabric consulting page.
Fabric matters here because meter and sensor data arrives constantly. Its real-time and streaming tools are built for that flow, so reliability and load dashboards can stay close to current rather than reflecting last week.
What working with Us Looks like
Many energy analytics companies hand over a dashboard and move on. We learn how your network and your regulators actually work first, build to that, and document everything so your team keeps control long after we step back.

Common Questions
Can you connect to our SCADA, AMI, and GIS systems?
Yes. We regularly pull from operational systems like SCADA, meter and AMI platforms, GIS, outage management, and billing, through their databases, extracts, or interfaces. We do not replace them; we make the data they hold usable in one place.
Can we get close to real-time visibility?
Often, yes. With Microsoft Fabric handling streaming meter and sensor data, dashboards can refresh close to live for what needs it, like load or outage status, while slower measures update on a normal schedule. We match the speed to the decision.
Can this support our regulatory and rate-case reporting?
It can. Once the numbers are reconciled and governed, the foundation that feeds operations can also produce reliability metrics and rate-case support consistently, which cuts the scramble and lowers the chance of a figure not reconciling under review.
How long until we see something useful?
A first dashboard on a priority area, load, reliability, or a key regulatory metric, usually lands in weeks. We get one trustworthy view in front of your team early rather than waiting to model the whole network, then build out from there.
Talk to Us About Your Data
If your team is buried in meter data and rate-case spreadsheets, or leadership keeps asking questions the systems cannot answer quickly, a short conversation will show what is possible. Book a time and we will walk through your data and where to start.
