By equipping electric distribution utilities with enhanced operational visibility and more effective tools for monitoring and management, modern network management platforms support the evolution of grid infrastructure while improving operational efficiency and field crew safety. These solutions can enable utilities to more flexibly integrate decentralized energy resources, which may lead to greater customer satisfaction, optimized grid performance, and accelerated progress toward decarbonization goals. Schneider Electric commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct a Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) study and examine the potential return on investment (ROI) enterprises may realize by deploying ADMS with embedded DERMS. The purpose of this study is to provide readers with a framework to evaluate the potential financial impact of ADMS with embedded DERMS on their organizations. All mentions of currency are in US dollars. The financial analysis that is based on the interviews found that a composite organization experiences benefits of $61.8 million over five years versus costs of $21.8 million, adding up to a net present value (NPV) of $40.0 million and an ROI of 184%.
