How do you plan the power grid for an uncertain future? Västervik Miljö & Energi takes a data-driven approach

Västervik Miljö & Energi is responsible, among other things, for electricity distribution to the municipality’s customers and has come a long way in its digitalization journey. Through well-structured management of metering data over many years, the company has built a strong foundation for creating greater value and insights through data-driven operations.

At the same time, energy companies such as Västervik Miljö & Energi are facing increasingly complex challenges. One of the most significant is understanding future power demand and how different sectors and types of electricity consumption will impact the grid over time. As society becomes more electrified and new types of loads are introduced, uncertainty increases around when and where investments will deliver the greatest impact. This creates new demands for analytical capabilities, forecasting, and prioritization.

Another important challenge is reducing the administrative workload that consumes time and resources which could otherwise be directed toward more long-term and proactive development efforts. Today, many energy companies are looking for ways to streamline workflows and free up time for strategic decision-making and future-oriented initiatives.

Through its collaboration with Endre, Västervik Miljö & Energi gains stronger capabilities to work more efficiently and in a more data-driven way. The platform provides more accurate decision support and enables a more proactive approach to planning future grid investments.

- It is clear that Västervik Miljö & Energi is positioning itself at the forefront of the industry. They conducted a thorough evaluation of Endre and worked closely with us to ensure the solution meets both current and future needs, says Amrish Kubavat, Account Partner at Endre.

- We are convinced that our collaboration will create significant value through better analysis, more efficient workflows, and more accurate decision-making going forward, Amrish Kubavat continues.
