Demand-Side Planning

Nauvoo Solutions brings extensive experience in demand-side planning for electric and natural gas utilities. Sophia has led and supported conservation and demand response potential assessments aligned with the Northwest Power and Conservation Council’s planning framework, as well as customized analyses tailored to individual utility needs. This includes evaluating technical, economic, and achievable potential for resources such as energy efficiency, demand response, and distributed solar. 

 

Sophia has experience evaluating the cost-effectiveness of demand-side resources through various perspectives and integrating  avoided costs, adoption curves, and policy considerations into resource planning models.

Data Analytics

Data analytics is central to Nauvoo Solutions’ work. Sophia routinely wrangles large, disparate datasets from utilities, regional planning bodies, and public sources to produce defensible, audit-ready analytical outputs and modeling inputs.

Recently, Nauvoo Solutions worked with the Northwest Power and Conservation Council to developed an R-based tool to compile, validate, and quality-check energy efficiency savings data submitted by multiple reporting entities across the region. This work required advanced data management, consistency auditing, aggregation logic, and reproducible workflows to ensure transparency and accuracy.

Beyond reporting analytics, Sophia has developed statistical and economic models in R and Excel to support conservation and distributed solar potential assessments work.  This has included tools for analyzing and summarizing Residential Building Stock Assessment data and characterizing housing and demographic trends using Census and market research datasets.

Reporting and Data Visualization

Nauvoo Solutions combines technical rigor with clear, decision-focused reporting. Sophia has produced Excel-based reporting tools, dashboards, and summary workbooks that allow clients to interact with results, conduct scenario analysis, and compare historical and forecasted performance metrics. 

 

Through concise dashboards, structured summary tables, and tailored report narratives, Sophia ensures that complex analytical findings are communicated in formats that support regulatory filings, board presentations, and long-term strategic planning.
