Australia’s Largest Electricity Network Selects Copperleaf for Value-Based Capital Investment Planning

Vancouver, BC, April 4, 2017—The operator of one of Australia’s largest electricity networks, Essential Energy, has selected the Copperleaf Decision Analytics Solution to support its investment planning and decision-making processes. A NSW Government-owned corporation, Essential Energy delivers essential network services to more than 800,000 homes and businesses across 95 per cent of New South Wales and parts of southern Queensland.

With a focus on continuously improving safety performance, operating at industry best practice, and minimizing network charges to customers, Essential Energy recognized an opportunity to enhance its ability to optimize capital projects, manage risk, and meet regulatory and customer-driven performance targets. Copperleaf will allow them to identify the optimal set of investments and timing that deliver the greatest value to the organisation across multiple portfolios.

“The energy industry in Australia is undergoing significant change with an increasing need to improve efficiency, and Essential Energy needs to meet that challenge,” said Paul Brazier, Essential Energy’s Acting General Manager, Asset Management. “Having such a large geographical footprint, it is imperative that we manage our assets as effectively and efficiently as possible.”

CEO of Copperleaf, Judi Hess, said she was excited to welcome Essential Energy to the growing community using Copperleaf solutions in Australia and around the world. “This highlights the increasing demand in the Australian market for decision analytics, and recognizes Copperleaf’s unique ability to help energy companies proactively manage risk and improve their overall performance.
