Sustainability assessment for electric utilities

ADI assessed how sustainability priorities are influencing actual capital allocation across electric utilities, with a focus on transmission, distribution, and grid digitalization. The work drew on utility‑level benchmarks covering decarbonization targets, resilience investments, and governance structures, supplemented by interviews with sustainability and planning leaders. Emphasis was placed on distinguishing aspirational ESG commitments from areas driving near‑term procurement and vendor selection.

Global industrial technology leader

Utilities faced mounting ESG pressure but lacked clarity on where decarbonization, grid resilience, and digital spend would concentrate.

Contribution icon 1

Leveraged ADI’s proprietary database of utility sustainability initiatives, KPIs, and governance models built across prior studies.

Contribution icon 2

Conducted targeted interviews with utility sustainability leaders to validate how ESG goals translate into capital programs.

Contribution icon 3

Benchmarked competitor offerings against utility needs to identify defensible differentiation and whitespace.

Contribution icon 4

Identified regions and utility profiles where sustainability pressure most directly drives near‑term procurement decisions.

  • Enabled sustainability‑led targeting toward transmission and distribution segments where investment intensity and urgency are structurally rising, strengthening long‑term positioning.
Client Results
ADI took our energy transition strategy to the next level. They brought rigorous analysis and detailed market forecasts that gave us the hard data we needed to present to our leadership team. It was a phenomenal experience from start to finish.

AI and data center energy impacts workshop

ADI structured and led a workshop examining how AI‑driven data center growth translates into power demand, infrastructure strain, and planning risk. Insights were synthesized from utilities, hyperscalers, OEMs, and developers to assess demand magnitude, geographic concentration, and timing relative to transmission and permitting constraints. The analysis framed implications for fuel mix, grid investment sequencing, and […]

North American transmission market assessment

ADI analyzed North American transmission demand by asset class, end market, and application to clarify where grid modernization and electrification are driving sustained equipment investment. Proprietary asset‑level segmentation was used to connect reliability mandates, renewable integration, and load growth to spending cycles. The results translated market signals into clear implications for manufacturing focus and capacity […]

Building efficiency assessment methodology

ADI developed a vendor‑independent Building Efficiency Assessment Methodology (BEAM) to quantify energy savings, emissions reductions, and retrofit economics across existing building portfolios. The work combined inductive benchmarking from comparable buildings, scenario‑based modeling, and conversion‑rate analysis to move retrofit decisions upstream without costly on‑site audits. Emphasis was placed on translating engineering outputs into CFO‑relevant metrics such […]

EV and charging infrastructure market assessment

ADI evaluated the North American EV and charging infrastructure market using bottom‑up forecasts of vehicle stock, charger deployment, power demand, and capital investment through 2030. The analysis differentiated Level 1, Level 2, and DC fast charging economics, incorporating policy scenarios, utility participation models, and EPC cost structures. Particular attention was paid to fleet charging economics […]
