# What will AGI do for Rate Case Justification?

## Overview

Regulated utilities must periodically petition Public Utility Commissions to adjust consumer rates, a process requiring them to prove the exact necessity of every capital expenditure and operational cost. Regulatory affairs teams and utility financial analysts spend months manually extracting engineering reports, maintenance logs, and financial projections to build massive evidentiary filings. The burden of proof requires tying every proposed rate increase to specific asset health metrics, grid reliability mandates, or safety regulations.

The difficulty stems from the severe fragmentation of utility data systems. Financial forecasting lives in enterprise resource planning software, while the physical justification for those costs resides in disconnected geographic information systems, enterprise asset management databases, and unstructured field inspection PDFs. Existing financial modeling tools cannot ingest or map this operational data, forcing analysts to manually bridge the gap between engineering reality and financial requests using thousands of fragile, linked spreadsheets.

During the public review period, consumer advocates and commission staff submit hundreds of data requests challenging specific line items. Because the underlying justification relies on static, manually compiled documents rather than a traceable data graph, answering these inquiries requires regulatory teams to restart the extraction process from scratch. This friction delays capital cost recovery, introduces severe regulatory risk, and restricts a utility's ability to fund critical infrastructure modernization.
