Kevala, Inc.

The Kevala platform combines the largest, most valuable, and comprehensive energy data repository with differentiated analytics capabilities to solve the world’s most complex energy challenges, accelerating the transition to a clean energy future. Our cutting-edge solutions support utilities, regulators, developers, and investors in making data-driven decisions that optimize grid reliability, resilience, and long-term costs.

Our Core Solutions
Electrification Impact Studies – Analyze how widespread electrification affect the distribution and transmission grid. We provide essential insights to utilities, regulators, and stakeholders, enabling them to proactively plan for infrastructure upgrades, maintain reliability, and accurately forecast cost impacts, thereby ensuring a smooth, sustainable transition to widespread electrification. Our models quantify the spatial and temporal impacts of projected adoption scenarios, giving a clear roadmap for necessary investments.

Integrated Grid Planning (IGP) – Built specifically for the new paradigm of distribution grid planning, Kevala’s IGP suite addresses the complex and intertwined challenges of the evolving energy landscape. This includes managing the increasing penetration of DERs like rooftop solar and battery storage, supporting the electrification of transportation and building loads, and meeting the non-negotiable need for enhanced grid reliability and resilience against extreme weather events and other disruptions. Our platform facilitates least-cost planning by evaluating traditional infrastructure investments alongside non-wires alternatives (NWAs).

Production Cost Modeling (PCM) – Utilities require robust, data-driven decision-making tools to plan effectively for future demand fluctuations, major infrastructure investments, and evolving energy policy changes. Our PCM offering empowers utilities to conduct highly accurate simulations and analyses, leading to informed planning decisions that optimize long-term operational costs, ensure grid stability, and meet regulatory requirements. This capability is crucial for resource adequacy and long-term financial health.

Predictive Interconnection Siting Metrics (PrISM) – Slow and complex interconnection processes are a significant barrier to the rapid deployment of clean energy and electrification projects. Our PrISM offering dramatically improves this process by providing developers and utilities with high-resolution, predictive metrics on potential grid impacts and likely costs and timelines. This allows both parties to make informed siting choices upfront, significantly reducing soft costs, accelerating project development, and streamlining the overall interconnection queue process, unlocking clean energy capacity.

Project Siting – Streamline and optimize the development and financing of new solar, storage, and large load projects. By providing comprehensive, location-specific insights into transmission, sub-transmission, and distribution network capacity, constraints, and upgrade costs, our Project Siting offering enables developers and investors to efficiently evaluate potential sites. This reduces financial risk, accelerates project timelines from months to weeks, and ensures that capital is deployed where it can have the greatest impact on decarbonization and grid needs.
