What Bidgely does
Bidgely, Inc. is a private energy-analytics software company headquartered in Mountain View, California, that has built its business around patented appliance-level load disaggregation (non-intrusive load monitoring) from AMI and smart-meter data. The company's UtilityAI™ platform detects 12 distinct appliance loads per home at 15-minute granularity from meter data alone — without sensors, smart plugs, or customer surveys — and has been battle-tested across 15+ countries and 38M–50M+ meters spanning 50+ utility customers. Bidgely's product portfolio packages this disaggregation engine into solutions for demand-side management, customer engagement (high-bill resolution, CX), time-of-use / demand response load flexibility, beneficial electrification (EV and heat pump targeting), grid resiliency (8760-hour DER forecasting, non-wires alternatives), income-qualified affordability programs, gas disaggregation, small-and-medium-business engagement, and energy-theft detection. The October 2025 launch of UtilityAI Pro extends the platform into a vertical AI layer that deploys inside the customer's own cloud via AWS, Azure, GCP, Snowflake, Databricks, and Oracle marketplaces and exposes Bidgely's pre-trained models to any LLM through a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, alongside a library of pre-built Agentic AI workflows.
The company monetizes via enterprise SaaS subscriptions sold through a regional direct-sales motion (VPs of Sales for North America and EMEA & APAC) supplemented by cloud-marketplace listings and channel partners including Itron, NISC, GridX, Smartcar, Infosys, and TRC, with embedded Disaggregation-as-a-Service distribution through Kubra, ICF, and Black & Veatch. Bidgely's customer base is concentrated in investor-owned electric and gas utilities (NV Energy, PSEG Long Island, Ameren, Xcel Energy, Duke Energy, PG&E, SDG&E, PacifiCorp, Hydro One, Enel, NW Natural, SoCalGas), with growing international presence in Canada, the UK, Italy, Spain, Japan, and Australia, plus a new public-sector engagement in Bihar, India. Capitalization consists of approximately $77M of disclosed equity funding (including a $26M round led by Moore Strategic Ventures in September 2021) plus an $18M growth-financing facility from CIBC Innovation Banking in 2023; the company has been recognized by Guidehouse Insights, Fast Company (#7 Applied AI, 2024), and Darcy Partners (Top 10 Grid Edge Innovator, 2025). Bidgely acquired Grid4C in March 2025 to add grid-side intelligence and DER analytics to its platform.
