Basic Utility Customer Database Products

MAISY Utility Customer Databases have been developed from information on more than 800,000 individual utility customers throughout the US and provide a representative sample of customers for individual states, regions and utility service areas.

MAISY database options include:

	State-Level Databases include extensive building structure, building and end-use energy use, equipment, conservation, electricity, natural gas and oil consumption data including hourly loads and other energy-related variables along with traditional economic and demographic information for utility customers throughout the US. Information on total energy and customer counts as well as detailed customer and customer segment information is available with a patented point-and-click data evaluation and exploration user interface. All data in the state-level databases can be exported for analysis or use with other software.
	Electric Utility Service Area Databases provide the same customer detail as the State-Level Databases and, can, as an option, include electric bills and measures of cost of service and profitability for each customer record. Databases are available for any electric utility service area including investor-owned utilities, municipal utilities, public utility districts, and co-op areas. Electric bills reflect utility rate structures and each customer's monthly and/or hourly electricity use. Customer-detailed cost-of-service is determined from each customer's hourly electricity use (for interval-metered analysis) or monthly use along with dynamic load profiles and hourly generating and capacity costs . Customer Profit shows the difference between revenue derived from the customer through monthly bills and the cost of actually providing electricity to the customer.
	MAISY Canadian Province and Service Area Databases products incorporate information from Statistics Canada, including the 1996 population survey, surveys of employment payrolls and hours and labor force surveys along with data from Canadian utilities, association data, proprietary Canadian customer data as well on-site survey and utility billing data of commercial customers from northern tier US states. Other MAISY products and services developed for the US market are also available for Canadian markets including Profiler software, Energy-ID, Energy Use Profiles, and DG-MAS.
	Custom Energy Data Solutions are available for clients needing only a subset of the database information. Custom data ranges from a few summary statistics to large relational databases. If you have energy-related information needs, Jackson Associates can provide the data.
