Compliance reporting and filings

Enhances✓ Available Now

What You Do Today

Ensure timely compliance with regulatory reporting requirements — annual reports, fuel cost adjustments, renewable portfolio standard compliance, reliability reports, and special filings.

AI That Applies

AI automates routine compliance calculations, populates reporting templates, and tracks filing deadlines across jurisdictions.

Technologies

How It Works

The system ingests filing deadlines across jurisdictions as its primary data source. The processing layer applies the appropriate analytical models to the structured data, generating scored outputs that surface the most actionable insights. The output is a structured view that highlights exceptions, trends, and items requiring attention — available in the existing tools without switching systems.

What Changes

Routine compliance report preparation shifts from manual data compilation to AI-automated population with human review.

What Stays

Ensuring accuracy of filings, making judgment calls on presentation of compliance data, and managing relationships with commission staff who review filings.

What To Do Next

This section won't tell you what your numbers should be. It will show you how to find them yourself. Every instruction below produces a real, verifiable result in your organization. No benchmarks, no projections — just the steps to build your own evidence.

1

Establish Your Baseline

Know where you are before you move

Before adopting AI tools for compliance reporting and filings, understand your current state.

Map your current process: Document how compliance reporting and filings works today — who does what, how long it takes, where the bottlenecks are. You need this baseline to measure improvement.
Identify the judgment points: Ensuring accuracy of filings, making judgment calls on presentation of compliance data, and managing relationships with commission staff who review filings. These are the boundaries AI won't cross.
Assess your data readiness: AI tools for this area need data to work. Check whether your organization has the historical data, integrations, and data quality to support PowerPlan tools.

Without a baseline, you can't measure whether AI actually improved anything. You'll adopt tools without knowing if they're working.

Define Your Measures

What to track and how to calculate it

Time per cycle

How to calculate

Measure how long compliance reporting and filings takes end-to-end today, then after AI adoption.

Why it matters

The most visible improvement is speed. If AI doesn't save time, question whether it's adding value.

Quality of output

How to calculate

Track error rates, rework frequency, or stakeholder satisfaction scores before and after.

Why it matters

Speed without quality is just faster mistakes. Measure both.

When to check: Check after 30 days of consistent use, then quarterly.
The commitment: Give new tools at least 30 days before judging. The first week is always awkward.
What NOT to measure: Don't measure AI adoption rate as a KPI. Adoption follows value — if the tool helps, people use it.

Start These Conversations

Who to talk to and what to ask

your board chair or lead independent director

Which of our current reports are manually assembled, and how much time does that take each cycle?

They shape expectations for how AI appears in governance

your CTO or CIO

What questions do stakeholders actually ask that our current reporting doesn't answer?

They own the technology infrastructure that enables AI adoption

a peer executive at a company further along on AI adoption

How would we know if AI actually improved compliance reporting and filings — what would we measure before and after?

Their lessons learned are worth more than any consultant's framework
