Energy & Utilities ERP

Rate-regulated accounting depth

IFRS 14, FERC Form 1, state PUC cost allocation. Your ERP needs these as native data structures, not a consulting-delivered overlay.

Enterprise asset management (EAM)

Plant accounting, CWIP, unitisation, and retirement accounting integrated with work management — not a bolt-on EAM with nightly sync.

Joint-venture accounting

JIB, AFE, cash calls, non-consent handling for shared pipelines, generation, and transmission assets.

Grid and meter integration

SCADA, AMI, GIS, and OMS integrations. Real-time operational data feeding the asset record and work orders.

Work and asset lifecycle

Preventive maintenance planning, mobile work orders, and failure code analysis linked to CAPEX decisions.

Compliance reporting breadth

FERC, NERC, Ofgem, GHG Protocol, TCFD, state-level PUC reporting. Each jurisdiction skipped is a project.

Asset data migration

Bringing 50–100 years of fixed asset data into the new system typically costs $500K–$5M depending on scope. Rate filings need full historical fidelity.

EAM and work management

Field mobility, scheduling optimisation, and crew dispatch modules often priced separately. Can double core ERP licence cost.

SCADA and OT integration

Operational technology integration runs $200K–$2M depending on protocols (DNP3, Modbus, OPC-UA) and number of field devices.

Regulatory consulting

Setup of rate-regulated accounting and first filing cycles under the new system often require utility-specialised consultants at premium rates.

Multi-jurisdiction complexity

Utilities crossing state lines or operating regulated + merchant entities need parallel accounting engines. Tiered pricing reflects the lift.

SCADA and historians

OSIsoft PI, GE Proficy Historian, Emerson Ovation. Real-time operational data driving asset condition monitoring and maintenance triggers.

GIS

Esri ArcGIS, Hexagon. Asset location, network topology, and spatial analytics integrated with work orders and asset records.

AMI and meter data management

Itron, Landis+Gyr, Oracle MDM. Meter data for billing, usage analytics, and load forecasting.

Outage management (OMS)

GE Smallworld, Oracle NMS, Schneider Electric. Storm response, restoration tracking, and SAIDI/SAIFI reporting.

Customer information systems (CIS)

Oracle Customer Care and Billing, SAP IS-U, NorthStar. Customer, service, and billing integration with the GL.

Work and asset management

IBM Maximo, Infor EAM, IFS. Preventive maintenance, work orders, and mobile field force.

Predictive maintenance

ML-driven failure prediction on transformers, breakers, and rotating equipment. Reduces unplanned outages and extends asset life.

Vegetation and storm risk modelling

Satellite and IoT-driven vegetation management plus storm impact modelling feeding preventive work orders.

Load and rate forecasting

ML-based demand forecasting for planning and rate-case support. More accurate than traditional statistical methods.

ESG and GHG accounting

Scope 1/2/3 emissions accounting embedded in asset and operational data. Required for TCFD, CSRD, and US SEC climate disclosures.

Digital twin of the grid

Asset-level digital twin synced from ERP + GIS + SCADA data for scenario planning and investment optimisation.

Autonomous field dispatch

AI-optimised crew scheduling and routing combining work priority, crew skills, equipment availability, and weather.
