Case Study Video: Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) Defining Integrated Planning

Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E), serving 16 million citizens across Northern California, has embarked on a transformative journey to modernize its grid planning approach. By adopting IFS Copperleaf® Integrated Planning (IP), PG&E is breaking down silos, aligning investments with long-term strategic goals, and delivering tangible value to customers.

In its 2024 pilot, PG&E bundled nearly $100 million in work, achieving 20% unit cost efficiency—funds that can now be reinvested to address other business needs.

Prior to IFS Copperleaf, PG&E relied on spreadsheets and disparate tools, limiting visibility and long-range planning. Today, the utility can evaluate all investments consistently, plan across a multi-year horizon, and continuously re-optimize to meet evolving regulatory, operational, and sustainability objectives.

“Integrated Planning is data-driven and built for long-term outcomes.”
