Join Our Pilot Program

AI Driven Insight for a More Resilient Grid

About the Program

Join our pilot program and bring next-generation decision support to your utility. We combine generative AI with your existing operational data to forecast outages, identify risk hotspots, and streamline business decisions before they become costly. Reduce uncertainty, improve reliability, and unlock the full value of your data with a tool built specifically for today’s energy challenges.

Right now you can sign up to be part of a free 3 month pilot program that will save your utility money and strengthen your team’s response capabilities. 

 

What You'll Receive

  • Weekly AI reliability insights and a real-time outage-cause dashboard

  • Monthly executive briefings plus a comprehensive final assessment at the end of the pilot

  • Collaborative metric reviews, including outage-cause identification time, engineering analysis efficiency, and overall decision-support utilization. 

This pilot is low risk, non-intrusive, and requiring no new systems or additional staff time. 

Become a founding partner today and experience the future of utility decision support. 

Our Solutions

BETH provides flexible solutions for local business, generation and transmission and electric utilities to support local projects. 

Reduce Peak Energy Prices

Use Community Batteries

Coordinate Local Investment for Local Projects

How Do I Sponsor a Joint Project?

If your community has two or more local partners—such as utilities, cooperatives, or businesses—interested in launching an energy project, we invite you to schedule a meeting with our team.

BETH Institute collaborates with

  • Generation and Transmission (G&T) providers
  • Distribution Cooperatives
  • State Energy Offices
  • Private Partners 

We explore solutions, such as

  • Long-duration energy storage
  • AI-driven peak management
  • Remote sensing technologies  that help communities adapt to changing energy needs

We support projects that make rural and regional systems more affordable, resilient, and reliable. Projects relevant to improving livability in underserved areas are eligible.   

Open Partner Projects

Energy Resilience

Micro Resilience Hubs/Microgrid Resilience Hubs

Community Battery Libraries

Resilience hubs are localized networks or select sites to keep critical services powered during outages and interruptions. 

Battery libraries provide shared storage systems to balance grid load, reduce peak costs, and give small utilities access to backup power. Ideal for areas affected by weather or crisis seeking stability and independence. 

If your area is affected by frequent weather events and poor infrastructure, this may be community relief your town needs. 

Technology & Data

Technology Management Tool

Whether battery management, GIS, dashboards, energy use management, sensors, or forecasted analytics are needed, we can help save on costs and avoid interruptions. Our partners help build tools and services that make energy management painless.

Our partners build tools that turn data into decisions—dashboards, GIS mapping, and energy strategy reports that strengthen reliability and planning. If your co-op needs analytics tools for smoother management, contact us to get access to partnerships and programs to benefit your bottom line.

Invest Locally

Funding and Partnership Support

Grant Assistance and Strategic Planning

Public – Private Collaboration

We aid partners in identifying and applying for funding opportunities, aligning projects, and managing compliance so projects don’t stall out.

With options of public and private partnership, we use joint projects, cross promotion, and shared resources to promote and elevate our partners as we work with them.

Community Impact

Economic Development 

Outreach and Education

We focus on local needs, prioritize energy affordability, access, and infrastructure to develop local economies and make underserved communities more livable. Using reports, tools, and optional workshops and webinars to empower energy leaders and members, we build stronger and more independent communities.

Current and Future Projects

All projects are mission-driven: designed with local partners,

measured on community impact, and reinvested back into the places we serve. 

Managing Peak Energy Costs
Community-led demand management that lowers utility demand charges; coordinating HVAC, water heating, EV charging, and other flexible loads without sacrificing comfort or operations. 
Reducing Outages with Sensor Technology
Deploying line, substation, and service-level sensors with AI diagnostics to spot faults early, shorten restoration times, and strengthen everyday reliability. 
Community Battery Libraries
Shared, reserve-when-needed energy storage for homes, small businesses, and critical sites: cutting bills, backing up essentials, and building neighborhood resilience. 
Microgrid Resiliency Hubs
Neighborhood-scale microgrids (schools, clinics, community centers) that keep critical power on during disruptions while providing day-to-day savings and stability.
