Introduction
A leading energy utility serving over ten million people in the New York City metro area partnered with C3 AI to modernize its grid through the Smart Meter Initiative (SMI). Built on the C3 Agentic AI Platform, eight enterprise AI applications now help the utility exceed its SMI objectives, delivering measurable improvements in reliability, operational efficiency, and customer experience.
Challenges
Modernizing at NYC scale required real-time intelligence that legacy systems couldn’t provide. Without a unified platform, engineers faced delays detecting voltage issues, transformer overloads, and asset stress, driving up costs and putting service reliability at risk for millions of customers.
Partnership with C3 AI
C3 AI unified data from over five million meters and 25 source systems, processing two billion data points daily. The result:
- 3.3 TWh in cumulative energy savings
- 2,000+ incident escalations prevented
- 99.5% of leak calls responded to within 30 minutes, up from 97%
About the Company
- 10M+ customers served in the New York City metro area
- Delivers electricity, gas, and steam across one of the world’s most complex urban energy networks
- 5M+ smart meters deployed across the grid
- 2B+ data points processed daily
