Rochester, NY, June 25, 2025—BHC Global Inc. (“BHC Global”), a privately-held 100% utility-centric leader in utility digital transformation, announced today the expansion of its partnership with NET2GRID, an AI-driven analytics innovator. The collaboration brings to market new advanced analytics and AI capabilities that enable utilities to harness the full potential of Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI1.0/2.0) through actionable insights and seamless enterprise integration. These capabilities will also power several use cases within BHC’s AMI Insight Accelerator, a new solution designed to extend the value of AMI insights across the utilities’ digital portfolio.
“Utilities’ investments in AMI and other smart grid technologies have clearly created an enormous body of intelligence, but much of that still remains unharvested,” said Bob Champagne, Chief Innovation and Digital Transformation Officer at BHC Global. ”Our goal with this partnership is to bring that intelligence to life—making it universally accessible to a wide range of new and emerging use cases across the enterprise and through our AMI Insight Accelerator.”
“We are excited to be expanding efforts with BHC Global,” said Andy Duffy, Director of Partnerships - North America at NET2GRID. ”Our NET2GRID EnergyAI® service delivers trusted, high-impact insights. Coupled with BHC’s integration and delivery capabilities, this partnership enables utilities to deploy measurable solutions faster, from the grid to the home.”
As utility operating models evolve to become more decentralized, dynamic, and customer-centric, demand for high-resolution, real-time analytics at the grid edge continues to rise. NET2GRID EnergyAI® is an AI-powered service which delivers detailed household energy profiles and usage insights from AMI 1.0 and 2.0 data, enabling behind-the-meter awareness that unlocks grid and residential flexibility, energy efficiency, and demand response programs.
