    Posted by Kevin Praet (Adm) on February 20, 2021 at 5:32 am

    Hello Data Science Community Members,

    Thank you to everyone who attended our Data Science meeting last Tuesday! For those unable to attend, we were joined by Alex Elder, Data Scientist at The Energy Authority (TEA) who led a discussion on, Estimating Electricity-Elasticity of Gross Regional Product in the United States.” During our meeting, Alex discussed how utilities can measure the effects of regulation and technological change on electricity demand with county-level granularity. With the input of several other attendees, we had a great discussion on how publicly available data can be incorporated into decision processes for individual utilities. 

    For anyone that was unable to attend, you can catch up with a full recording and slide deck HERE. If you haven’t taken our post meeting evaluation survey, please take a minute and complete HERE.

    Hello Data Science Community Members,

    I hope all is well! A few weeks ago I had posted about an AMI/MDM survey I’m working to complete with Santee Cooper and we’ve already been seeing some great feedback. To best help Santee Cooper in this area I’m hoping we can get several others to complete and I’m turning to this community for your help. If you or a colleague has any experience working with AMI/MDM we’d be very interested in hearing from you on our short survey. Both utility and vendor members are welcome!

    For utility members, please use following link:

    https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ST5VZ9V

     

    For data analytics providers/vendors , please use following link:

    https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WZN8VBK


    * Target Response Submit Date: Tuesday, March 2, 2021

    Being such a popular topic, Santee Cooper has agreed to share their results with anyone who’s interested. Please DM me for more information or any questions.

    Thanks again for your help!

    Subject: Do You Have Experience with AMI/MDM?

    Hello Data Science Community Members,

    I hope all is well! I’m currently working with a member from Santee Cooper who is interested in hearing from utilities & vendors on their experiences with AMI/MDM. With several members having experience implementing AMI and MDM I wanted to circulate within this community and gather any input.

    Debbie from Santee Cooper put together a quick survey both utility and vendor members can take. It would be a huge help if you can take a few minutes to complete the survey below, Debbie is even happy to share any results with you and your teams!
