Partnership combines best-in-class consulting services and software to help utilities create, approve and operationalize advanced rate structures

GridX, the industry’s leading Enterprise Rate and Data Platform, today announced a strategic partnership with Clarum Advisors, a leading energy transition consultancy with deep expertise in regulatory strategy and rate design. The collaboration combines GridX's advanced rate analytics platform with Clarum's expert testimony, rate design and implementation support to help utilities navigate the increasingly complex process of modernizing their rate structures in an era of massive load growth and rising energy bills.

"Utilities are under tremendous pressure to implement modern rate structures and are seeking partners with specialized technical expertise and advisory capabilities to navigate the regulatory process effectively," said Michael Wimert, VP Strategic Accounts and Alliances at GridX. "Our partnership with Clarum Advisors creates a turnkey solution that combines world-class regulatory and rate design consulting with powerful analytical tools. Together, we're helping utilities get new rates created, approved and implemented faster."

The partnership addresses a critical challenge facing utilities nationwide: the need to develop and implement advanced rate structures that reflect the true cost of energy delivery while ensuring equitable outcomes for customers. As utilities face mounting pressure from data center-driven load growth, energy affordability, and evolving customer expectations, the regulatory process for approving new rate structures has become increasingly demanding. By combining Clarum's consulting capabilities with GridX's analytical tools, the partnership offers utilities a comprehensive approach to rate case development, approval and implementation.

"Utilities need partners who can guide them through the entire rate modernization journey, from strategy through implementation," said Jan Vrins, Partner at Clarum Advisors. "With GridX's analytical capabilities as our foundation, we're able to move beyond theoretical recommendations and deliver rate designs backed by comprehensive, data-driven analysis. That's a powerful combination for utilities facing tight timelines and limited internal resources."
