Rochester, NY, July 10, 2025 — BHC Global Inc. (“BHC Global”), a privately-held 100% utility-centric leader in utility digital transformation, has announced an extended partnership with Gridsight, a smart grid management platform supporting utilities to operate an increasingly complex grid. The partnership builds on their existing collaboration enabling utilities to derive maximum value from their Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI 1.0/2.0) data.
While electrification and distributed energy resources (DER) offer significant benefits, they also pose challenges traditional grids were never designed to handle. Smart grid management has become essential for utilities to operate more flexible and resilient networks to meet evolving customer needs. Gridsight processes terabytes of raw grid data, including AMI, to deliver actionable insights supporting grid planning, operations, DER integration and management.
“This partnership with Gridsight is a game-changer for any utility looking to extract maximum value from its customer and grid intelligence,” said Bob Champagne, Chief Innovation and Digital Transformation Officer at BHC Global. “This integrated proposition creates a robust and unified body of intelligence that cuts across conventional data silos and use cases — putting the right intelligence to work in the right place at the right time.”
“Gridsight’s platform puts grid-edge data and visibility at the centre of utility planning and operations - enabling them to support their customers with data-driven decision making,” said Brendan Banfield, Gridsight’s Co-founder and CEO. “Extending our partnership with BHC Global will enable Gridsight to deliver these customer benefits to more North American utilities, faster.”
Gridsight is the market leader in grid visibility and analytics in Australia, which leads the world in the adoption of DER and the innovative solutions required to solve these challenges. This partnership, formed as part of BHC Global’s AMI Insight accelerator, will combine Gridsight’s world leading technology with BHC Global domain expertise and scalable innovation frameworks.
