What Integral Analytics does

Integral Analytics is a Cincinnati-based private software company, founded in 2005, that builds analytics and optimization platforms for electric grid planning, forecasting, and distributed energy resource (DER) management. Its three core products are LoadSEER, a spatial forecasting and capacity analysis platform used to plan DER combinations against supply and T&D constraints; DSMore, an award-winning cost-effectiveness modeling tool for portfolio optimization of energy efficiency, demand response, and demand-side management programs; and IDROP, a patented dispatching engine for day-ahead and real-time DER and behind-the-meter resource scheduling. Together, the suite addresses short-term forecasting, long-term planning, IRP support, and real-time dispatch across utility workflows.

The company's technology stack combines proprietary optimization algorithms, hourly temporal resolution modeling, and integrations with Microsoft Azure (cloud), CYME (network modeling), Esri (GIS), Clean Power Research, E3, Streetlight Data, and envelio's Intelligent Grid Platform. In 2026 it deepened distribution-channel integration with envelio and has positioned LoadSEER as an "intelligence layer" in grid modernization programs at Xcel Energy, Salt River Project, and PG&E, among other named utilities.

Integral Analytics generates revenue primarily through enterprise software licenses and subscriptions sold via direct field sales to investor-owned utilities, public power utilities, cooperatives, and regulators. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled through demo-based engagement. The company lists 1–10 employees despite a 13-utility enterprise customer roster spanning North America, indicating a lean operating model that leverages integration partnerships (notably a Willdan-branded commercial channel evidenced in 2020 customer press releases) to scale delivery and distribution without proportional headcount growth.

Core offering

Integral Analytics develops and licenses proprietary software platforms that help electric utilities forecast load, plan distributed energy resource (DER) integration, evaluate demand-side management programs, and dispatch DERs at lowest marginal cost. Its three core products — LoadSEER (spatial forecasting and capacity planning), DSMore (hourly cost-effectiveness modeling for energy efficiency and demand response), and IDROP (patented DER dispatching engine) — are sold as on-premise or cloud-based licenses to utilities, grid operators, and energy stakeholders across North America.

Product overview

Integral Analytics offers a portfolio of three patented software products for electric grid stakeholders: LoadSEER, DSMore, and IDROP. LoadSEER serves as the primary spatial forecasting and planning platform for DER combinations that satisfy supply and transmission constraints. DSMore is the cost-effectiveness evaluation tool for demand-side portfolio optimization, integrating with IRP planning processes. IDROP is the dispatching engine for day-ahead and real-time customer load and DER scheduling. Together, these products enable utilities to forecast, evaluate, plan for, and invest in grid evolution while preserving reliability and controlling costs.

Direct peers

• envelio: Intelligent Grid Platform vendor for distribution network planning with which IA has a recent LoadSEER integration. Direct peer in utility distribution planning with overlapping forecasting and grid-modeling use cases.
• OATI: Provider of grid software including DERMS, forecasting, and energy management systems used by utilities across North America. Direct peer with overlapping load forecasting, DER dispatch, and demand-side management capabilities.
• Clean Power Research: Solar and DER forecasting analytics provider that is also an Integral Analytics technology partner. Direct peer serving the same utility buyer with overlapping forecasting and solar/DER analytics capabilities.
• Uplight: Energy efficiency and demand-side management platform serving utilities with customer program optimization. Direct peer to the DSMore product line in DSM portfolio optimization and energy efficiency cost-effectiveness modeling.
• AutoGrid (acquired by Schneider Electric): Specialized DER optimization and forecasting platform closely aligned with IA's LoadSEER and IDROP. Direct peer in customer (electric utilities), product (DER forecasting, dispatch, optimization), and business model (enterprise SaaS).

Broad incumbents

• Willdan Group: Energy and engineering services firm that historically distributed and co-marketed the LoadSEER platform with Integral Analytics (public releases reference 'Willdan's LoadSEER'). Comparable as a peer because Willdan sells into the same utility planning and DER-integration buyer base and has been a commercial channel for IA's core product.
• Bentley Systems (OpenUtilities): Infrastructure engineering software provider serving electric and water utilities with network modeling and asset planning. Comparable as a broad incumbent in utility planning software, where it overlaps with LoadSEER's capital-planning and scenario-analysis capabilities.
• Schneider Electric (Grid Software / EcoStruxure): Global grid-software incumbent offering DER management, ADMS, and resource optimization (including acquired AutoGrid technology). Comparable as a broad incumbent that competes with Integral Analytics for utility software wallets in DER forecasting and dispatch, but at much larger scale and broader portfolio scope.
• Hitachi Energy (Lumada / Network Manager): Major ADMS/EMS vendor offering distribution planning, DER integration, and grid optimization modules. Comparable as a broad incumbent whose distribution planning and DER management capabilities directly overlap with LoadSEER and IDROP at the same electric utility buyers.
• Siemens (Grid Software): Provides PSS/E, Grid Analytics, and DER planning tools sold to large IOUs and transmission operators. Comparable as a broad incumbent with overlapping spatial forecasting, scenario management, and DER planning functionality.
