We reached out to The Shpigler Group to help us to understand the importance benchmarking plays within our profession. We had a firm grasp on the finance part of benchmarking but wanted to expand our understanding on how the finance component could be used to manage the operational part of our utilities beyond just monetary numbers. The Shpigler Group helped us to put on several classes across the state that helped educate our membership on how to use the data created by benchmarking into a meaningful planning tool. Because of The Shpigler Group, we are currently developing a statewide benchmarking program that will be made available to all water utilities to assist them in managing their water utilities in a very proactive manner.

The Shpigler Group provided a well-structured benchmarking of our member distribution utilities.

Pasadena Water and Power (PWP) utilized the services of The Shpigler Group to complete a comprehensive business case for a utility wide Smart Grid deployment. The business case successfully reviewed and reported on the economic, technical, operational, and strategic characteristics of a PWP-specific Smart Grid deployment. Overall, the business case completed by The Shpigler Group exceeded my expectations and has allowed PWP to implement our Smart Grid deployment over multiple capital improvement budget cycles.
