Case Study

How one mixed portfolio improved operational clarity with Openleaf

A pilot example showing how variance visibility, anomaly prioritization, and structured reporting improved decision speed across teams.

Western Grid Renewables

Portfolio logs were onboarded, baseline expectations aligned, and initial visibility gaps identified across solar and hybrid assets.

Anomaly clusters were identified and prioritized by impact, helping operations focus on highest-value corrective paths.

Field actions were aligned to high-loss events, with cleaner communication between analytics and plant teams.

A repeatable review cycle was established for ongoing tracking, executive reporting, and action planning.
