Customers

AImee

The project aims to develop a digital customer experience that uses cutting edge technology such as AI and machine learning to offer tailored advice and support at scale to vulnerable consumers at risk of being left behind in the energy transition. It will be designed with input from service delivery partners through workshops and interviews. The project includes designing, building & testing the tool, and a service trial with consumers to gather feedback and assess the tool's success.

Key deliverables

  • Develop and trial digital tool for vulnerable consumers
  • Gather feedback from customers and delivery partners
  • Publish summary report of project outcomes and learnings

Target outcomes

  • Enhance support for vulnerable consumers
  • Increase efficiency for service delivery partners
  • Enable consumer self-service via digital channels

Measures of success

  • Service delivery partner acceptance
  • Positive customer feedback
  • Number of consumers supported
  • Efficiency improvements for partners

Stakeholder Engagement

Working with 3 service delivery partners that are funded by the Consumer vulnerability team to provide support to vulnerable consumers. These stakeholders are sharing insight into the support they provide and what support consumers need.

SummarAIze

SummarAIze is an initiative to improve how power outages are managed by automatically generating clear incident summaries and more accurate restoration time estimates. It uses data from our outage management system (ADMS) to help teams respond faster and keep customers better informed during power cuts.

AI for Visibility and Forecasting of Renewable Generation

The AI for Visibility and Forecasting of Renewable Generation project aims to enhance UK Power Networks' ability to forecast unmetered solar energy generation. By developing a machine learning (ML) algorithm, the project will infer the capacity of unmetered solar generation behind substations. This capacity estimate will feed into a solar forecast algorithm, producing forecasts at primary substations. Improved visibility and forecasting will help UK Power Networks better anticipate network power flows, reduce procurement costs, minimize renewable curtailment, and inform long-term planning. This project aims to lower costs for end users and support a sustainable energy system.
