South East Water (SEW), the company responsible for supplying drinking water to over 2.2 million customers in the south of England, has selected a decision analytics solution from Copperleaf® Technologies Inc.
The solution, Copperleaf H2O, is an implementation of the Copperleaf Portfolio™ product, designed specifically to meet the needs of the UK water sector. It will enable South East Water to make high-value investment decisions that are aligned with the company’s corporate objectives. SEW will use Copperleaf H2O to support the development of its business plan for the upcoming regulatory price review (PR24), and subsequently support business plan delivery.
“We are excited to be working with Copperleaf to enhance our asset investment decision-making processes as we prepare for PR24,” commented Richard Sands, Head of Asset Management at South East Water. “As part of our asset management improvement program, we wanted a solution that would help us quickly optimize our plans at an asset and portfolio level, ensuring that we are making the best decisions at the optimal time. With the Copperleaf solution, we will be able to focus on addressing specific performance commitments and outcome delivery incentives set by Ofwat”.
“We developed the Copperleaf H2O solution specifically with UK water companies in mind,” explained Stefan Sadnicki, Managing Director for Copperleaf in Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA). “Copperleaf H2O uses a predefined, best-practice configuration that is aligned with both ISO 55001 and the UK regulator Ofwat’s performance commitments and outcome delivery incentives (ODIs). The rapid implementation will allow South East Water to get started with the Copperleaf solution in just eight weeks.”
