Case Study: PGE

With wildfires, extreme weather and grid constraints with the rise of data center growth, utilities need to modernize — faster and more affordably than ever.

That’s why InnovationForce started in energy. Named the #1 AI-powered innovation management platform in the industry, we partnered with Portland General Electric (PGE) to develop a platform that could help innovation grow.

In just 18 months, PGE transformed from lagging to leading the industry as assessed by a credible third party validator. They also achieved:

64% reduction in pilot cycle time
50% of pilots exit with a “Go” decision

In a world where less than 5% of pilots ever make it to production, these results aren’t just impressive — they’re game-changing.
