Our Market

BRIDGE is focused exclusively on serving the Power industry. Our clients are ISO/RTO's, Transmission Operators, Utilities and Generation companies in the Power industry.

The Business of Energy is changing: The "Smart Grid" will increase efficiency in the electrical Grid, empower consumers to make more informed decisions about their electricity usage, improve the balance of supply and demand through new demand management programs, provide self-healing capability, and more readily support the integration of renewable through distributed generation and small scale sources. All of these benefits facilitate delivering energy as a service vs. a product - enabling a transformation of the Utility. It is envisioned that 80% of operating revenue will be decoupled from direct usage.

Energy Demand will increase by 20-25% in the next 10-15 years but Grid capacity will increase by only 6%.

75% of transmission lines, transformers and circuit breakers are 25 years or older.

The current power grid is stressed.

Much of the equipment that makes up the North American grid is reaching the end of its design life.

Companies within the Energy value chain from Generation to T&D to LSE's to ISO to Market Participant are currently developing strategies to leverage Smart Grid. Whether your organization is

launching Smart Grid initiative like AMI/AMR, MDM, Demand Management, TOU Advance Billing, Day-ahead trading, Real-time settlement or
simply in the beginning phases of considering Smart Grid or
working on tactical projects to replace home grown systems with COTS applications

we believe that the real time exchange of data and integration of information systems will drive many of these programs. This is where BRIDGE can help. BRIDGE can guide your company through the complexities of the end to end Smart Grid value chain from both business and technology perspective.
