The New Era AI, Change, and the Utility Industry

Something Has Shifted

The Industry You Knew Is Not the Industry You Are Running

Demand is surging. 26% peak growth by 2035.

Regulators are accelerating. AI-informed capital justification is the new baseline.

The workforce is in transition. Decades of institutional knowledge are retiring.

Let’s Be Honest About the Fear

Can I audit the output?

Will it hold up in the field?

Can I explain it to a regulator?

Those are exactly the right questions.

AI Is Already Working — In Environments Just Like Yours

Predictive Maintenance

25–40% reduction in unplanned

outages. Auditable decision logs.

Regulatory Intelligence

Months of rate case prep

compressed to weeks.

Field Service Optimization

Fewer truck rolls. Better crew

utilization. Human in the loop.

How We Are Solving This Together

IFS Nexus Black + Copperleaf: Focused Capabilities for Industry

• AI-informed capital planning — risk-based, not schedule-based

• Regulatory intelligence — inside your existing workflow
