Transparent Decision-Making for Regulators

When investment decisions lack transparency, utilities risk delayed or rejected capital plans, slowing critical infrastructure improvements and falling short of regulatory expectations.

With DIREXYON, decision-makers simulate and compare investment strategies across key metrics like cost, risk, reliability, and service levels. They can clearly demonstrate the logic behind decisions, align with regulatory goals, and respond quickly to feedback—accelerating approvals and maximizing long-term value.

Results

When electric utilities use DIREXYON to quantify and compare the trade-offs and benefits of potential investment strategies, utilities gain:

Increase in internal rate of return

Reduction in regulatory approval time

Gaining a clear understanding of long-term impacts, DIREXYON enables utilities to build stronger cases for regulatory approval, and make data-driven decisions that balance cost, risk, and service reliability.

Why It Matters

As infrastructure ages and climate pressures grow, utilities face increasing scrutiny over how capital is spent—and whether customers are getting fair value. Justifying rate increases requires more than cost estimates; it demands clear evidence that each investment serves long-term reliability, affordability, and equity.

Simulation-based planning equips utilities to build stronger rate cases by modeling multiple investment pathways and demonstrating their long-term impact on service levels, costs, and risk. With transparent, data-backed scenarios, utilities can clearly communicate the rationale behind funding requests and build trust with regulators and the public.

Strategic Planning, Tailored to Your Electric Utility

Every utility faces a unique set of environmental, regulatory, and operational challenges. DIREXYON’s platform is designed to support better long-term decision-making, but actual outcomes depend on data availability, model configuration, and organizational expertise.
