ISO 55001 evidence trail
Asset investment planning for power, water, gas, and district heating utilities.
Rate-case-ready capital plans that balance grid investment, climate resilience, workforce capacity, and the net-zero pathway. Simeo by Oxand is the AIP platform for utilities that need to defend a rate case on Monday, hit a SAIDI target on Tuesday, and present a 30-year decarbonisation roadmap on Wednesday — all from the same model.
Capital planning built on simulation, not spreadsheets.
Asset Investment Planning for utilities
is the discipline utilities use to identify and prioritise capital investment across the asset life cycle through analysis of cash flow, performance and reliability scenarios. Buyers use it to defend rate cases, justify CAPEX, hit reliability metrics like SAIDI, and align capital allocation with net-zero and grid-modernisation commitments.
The forces shaping every investment decision utilities make today.
The energy transition
DERs, electrification, EV load, and fossil generation retirement all reshape which assets need investment and when. Year-by-year scenarios have to account for load shifts that did not exist five years ago.
Climate volatility
Storms, heat domes, drought, and wildfire directly affect reliability metrics. Asset-level risk profiles must be weighted by service criticality and climate exposure, not just age.
Grid and network investment
Multi-billion-euro transmission, distribution, and substation programmes require defensible prioritisation across thousands of assets and multiple planning horizons.
Rate-case discipline
Regulators require auditable evidence trails. Every recommendation must link back to the asset register, condition data, and the model that produced it.
Workforce capacity
Institutional knowledge built over decades is retiring with the engineers who hold it. The decision logic has to live in the platform, not in their notebooks.
Net-zero versus reliability
Decarbonisation targets have to coexist with affordability and service continuity. Trade-offs need to be modelled simultaneously, not assumed.
One AIP platform across power, water, gas, and district heating.
Power utilities
Generation, transmission, distribution, SAIDI/SAIFI alignment, DER integration, substation and pole renewals.
Water utilities
Mains, treatment plants, pumping stations, sewer networks: risk-based replacement under non-revenue water constraints.
Gas utilities
Distribution networks, compressors, pressure regulation, methane-leak prioritisation, and hydrogen-readiness scenarios.
District heating
Heat networks, substations, and distribution pipelines. Multi-year investment plans for decarbonisation and expansion of district energy systems.
From fragmented data to a defensible multi-year plan.
Prioritise
Risk-weighted, criticality-aligned investment
Replace spreadsheet-based plans with a living multi-year programme that updates as field conditions change. Risk-weighted prioritisation across thousands of assets ensures capital goes where it matters most — backed by 30,000+ recommended actions.
Simulate
Carbon and CAPEX modelled together
Run 5, 10 and 20-year scenarios under budget, reliability and net-zero constraints simultaneously. Compare strategies side by side before committing capital. Institutional knowledge is encoded in 10,000+ predictive models so it does not leave with the senior engineer.
Comply
Rate-case-ready evidence, one click away
Every recommendation links to the asset register, condition data, and the model that produced it. Audit-ready, ISO 55001-aligned evidence trails designed to meet US PUC and equivalent regulatory regimes worldwide.

- Age-based replacement without risk weighting
- Carbon and CAPEX in separate conversations
- Manually assembled rate-case evidence
- Decision logic locked in retiring engineers' notebooks

Gartner Market Guide for Asset Investment Planning Solutions, December 2024
Oxand is named as a representative vendor in the Gartner Market Guide for Asset Investment Planning Solutions (G00781827, December 2024). The guide identifies AIP as a distinct software category used by asset-intensive organisations — including utilities — to prioritise capital investment across the asset life cycle.
Frequently asked questions
Does Simeo support utility rate-case filings?
Yes. Simeo produces auditable evidence trails that link every investment recommendation back to the asset register, condition data, and the predictive model that generated it. This chain of evidence is designed to meet the documentation requirements of US PUC rate-case formats and equivalent regulatory regimes in other jurisdictions.
How does Simeo handle the trade-off between net-zero targets and reliability?
Carbon and energy are first-class constraints inside Simeo's scenario engine, not a separate report. This means you can simultaneously model emissions reduction targets, SAIDI limits, and revenue caps in a single simulation, and see where trade-offs occur before committing to a plan.
Is Simeo compatible with our SCADA and CMMS systems?
Yes. Simeo integrates with major CMMS platforms including IBM Maximo, Infor, CARL Software, and SAP, and ingests SCADA and IoT telemetry via REST and GraphQL APIs. ERP (SAP, Oracle), GIS, and BIM systems are also supported.
How long does it take to get a first multi-year investment plan?
Most utility customers have a first multi-year scenario within 6 to 12 weeks. ROI typically lands within the first budget cycle, supported by predefined ageing models and turnkey integration with existing CMMS, ERP, GIS, and BIM systems.
Which utility asset classes does Simeo cover?
Simeo covers power utilities (generation, transmission, distribution, substations), water utilities (mains, treatment plants, pumping stations, sewer networks), gas utilities (distribution networks, compressors, pressure regulation, hydrogen-readiness), and district heating networks.
Where does Oxand operate?
Oxand has offices in France (Paris), Switzerland (Lausanne), and the Netherlands (Utrecht), and delivers projects across EMEA, North America, and APAC. Simeo is hosted on Azure (France region by default) with a fully self-hosted Kubernetes deployment available.
