The Work  /  Cost Optimization & Technology Solutions
Ops Center Program

Spending smarter on technology.

A working group sharpening cost and technology decisions across the Center's operational programs, so members buy and build with the benefit of each other's experience.

What it is

Every utility is making the same kinds of cost and technology bets, often without knowing what the utility down the road already learned from making them. The Cost Optimization & Technology Solutions Group brings a shared cost-and-value lens to those decisions.

It works across the Center's other operational programs, so the due diligence one utility does becomes due diligence every member can lean on before committing capital.
