2026 Event Schedule

Like many major utilities, Xcel Energy was struggling with a complex legacy data platform, siloed teams, and a lack of operational maturity required to meet the demands of modern grid management. The challenge was clear: build a scalable, unified solution that could balance data democratization with stringent privacy, security, and governance requirements.

Join Xcel Energy’s data executives along with Lovelytics to outline the executive strategy and phased deployment that resulted in a successful, enterprise-wide transformation.

The Blueprint for Rapid Value:

• Foundation First: Learn how Xcel Energy leveraged its Unified Data Platform (UDP) and onboarding accelerators to achieve 20x faster time to insight, consolidating 16.7+ trillion data records and analyzing 4M+ meters hourly.
• Strategic Use Cases: We will detail the development and implementation of high-value AI data products across the business, moving from core AMI data lakes and demand forecasting to mission-critical operations.
• Outcomes in Action: The session will highlight two critical case studies demonstrating measurable ROI: Wildfire AI to automate key mitigation processes to enhance public safety and increase grid reliability and Grid Modernization, deploying Gridlytics AI to create granular risk models, understand exposure, and get ahead of potential issues.

This is a strategic session for utility leaders seeking to move beyond pilot projects to enterprise-scale AI. Xcel Energy will share the governance models and platform strategies that have generated nearly $1B in business impact across the organization.
