BIRMINGHAM, AL — July 16, 2026 — HData and Recurve today announced a partnership focused on helping utilities and regulators improve energy decision-making as they navigate rising demand and growing affordability concerns.
Utilities face increased pressure to understand regulatory risk and propose holistic grid investments to meet the dual challenge of load growth and affordability. At the same time, regulators are being asked to evaluate major investments and new programs with greater speed and scrutiny than ever before. Much of the underlying information required to support those decisions exists across disconnected filings, data systems, and reporting workflows. Bringing those pieces together requires significant manual effort, which slows analysis and increases compliance risk.
Recurve helps utilities prove that efficiency, EV charging, and DER programs deliver real, verified results at the meter. Those programs are designed, funded, and defended based on regulatory cost-effectiveness tests and a legislative landscape that's shifting fast, from virtual power plant debates to grid-utilization bills. HData provides the regulatory and legislative intelligence utilities need to design programs that anticipate policy direction rather than react to it. Using both data sources together enables utilities to close the loop from policy requirement to compliance evidence, and build programs with greater confidence.
“Utilities and regulators are being asked to make highly consequential decisions about grid investments and system planning,” said Zach Robin, CEO of Recurve. “Easier access to regulatory context and customer energy data helps them not only manage risk, but make more informed decisions that directly impact affordability.”
HData offers centralized access to PUC filings from across the country, federal and state energy legislation, and integrated resource plans. The platform provides automatic alerts on regulatory developments along with AI-powered analysis of filings and proceedings.
“Partnering with Recurve allows us to help utilities and regulators connect regulatory data with real-world energy consumption data to inform actions before a proposal becomes policy or a major investment,” said Hudson Hollister, Chief Executive Officer of HData. “We believe this can result in faster, better-supported program design and ultimately improve regulatory efficiency in program implementation.”
