“At PSEG Long Island, we put the customer at the heart of everything we do. It’s important to equip them with the tools they need to save money and navigate an evolving energy landscape with confidence,” said Lou DeBrino, Vice President, Customer Operations at PSEG Long Island. “This honor from Chartwell is an affirmation of our decision to use Bidgely’s platform to generate the insights that continue to help our customers optimize their Time-of-Day savings.”

Smarter Insights, Higher Engagement, Real Energy Savings

To reduce bill shock and help consumers take direct control of their peak energy costs during a transition to standard TOD rates, PSEG Long Island launched a comprehensive customer engagement program including support from Bidgely’s UtilityAI™ platform. Bidgely’s solution applies machine learning to smart meter (AMI) data to detect appliance-level “fingerprints”—such as HVAC systems, EV chargers and pool pumps—allowing PSEG Long Island to replace generic energy-saving tips with hyper-personalized bill breakdowns and timely nudges.

Operating at true enterprise scale, PSEG Long Island delivered nearly 20 million personalized emails and 1.2 million paper reports, with insights shared across print, mobile apps, digital portals and call center channels.

Program Highlights and Key Outcomes:

  • 70% Peak EV Load Reduction: Customers that enrolled in the overnight discount Super Off-Peak rate and received personalized monthly EV disaggregation insight emails yielded a 83% reduction on peak charging, resulting in 70% energy and demand reduction during peak hours.

  • 145,000+ MMBtu in Energy Savings: Personalized behavioral recommendations influenced measurable home energy reductions across 635,000 residential customers.

  • 81% Positive “Thumbs Up” CSAT Rating: “Like” rate for targeted emails also rose to 83 percent among TOD groups.

  • 60% Email Open Rates (3x Industry Average): Engagement surged from a 20 percent baseline, with unique customer click-through rates increasing to 6 percent alongside a record-low 0.06 percent unsubscribe rate.

  • 77% Increase in Web Traffic: Annual portal web traffic expanded sevenfold as customers increasingly turned to online self-service channels.

“When you tune into what customers actually need, explain energy in terms they can easily understand, and truly motivate them to take action, remarkable success naturally follows,” said Abhay Gupta, CEO of Bidgely. “PSEG Long Island has set a new benchmark for customer engagement and modern grid innovation, and we are thrilled to celebrate their well-deserved recognition by Chartwell.”
