About
Kevala delivers comprehensive grid intelligence through a cloud-based platform purpose-built for energy leaders. By combining deep data science, engineering expertise, and economic modeling, Kevala enables utilities, regulators, renewable energy developers, and transportation innovators to make smarter, faster decisions about electrical infrastructure. The platform offers solutions across integrated grid planning, electrification of transportation, project siting for solar and storage, carbon accounting, predictive interconnection siting, and production cost modeling. Utilities can anticipate the impact of distributed energy resources (DERs) and turn them into flexible assets rather than grid stressors. Regulators and government bodies gain advanced insights to shape sustainable energy policy. Renewable energy developers can quickly identify high-value solar and storage project sites using street-level distribution grid data. Kevala also provides precise, granular carbon intensity analysis — pinpointing the carbon content of the grid at any location and time — supporting ESG compliance and clean energy accounting. Transportation innovators can strategically plan high-value EV infrastructure investments using the platform's electrification impact forecasting capabilities. Backed by deep sector expertise and trusted by leading utilities and government agencies, Kevala is designed for organizations that need reliable, data-driven intelligence to lead the energy transition.
