Intelligent Unitization

Capital Unitization, Without the Bottleneck 

PowerPlan Intelligent Unitization automates the analysis and allocation of capital work orders into fixed asset records—clearing unitization backlogs, accelerating month-end close, and defending the rate base while unlocking tax value sooner.

Turn a multi-year backlog into a managed, measurable process

When construction data from the field is incomplete or unstructured, unitization stalls, and the backlog grows. This can leave hundreds of millions to billions of dollars to sit in CCNC, widening audit exposure and stalling cash flow. 

Intelligent Unitization is an AI system that breaks that cycle by analyzing work orders and recommending how project costs should be broken into fixed asset records—the same analysis a skilled plant accountant does manually today, but automatically and in the background. Accountants review, adjust, and approve the AI recommendations, spending less time on manual analysis and more time on higher-value work.

Timely unitization isn’t just a back-office accounting function—it is a core earnings and regulatory strategy lever.

Strengthen Audit Your Position 

Unit-level records defend the rate base against audit and intervener challenge, and keep you ahead of regulators codifying unitization deadlines into binding tariffs that strip recovery and return on capital unitized late.
