Capital project discipline and operational spend on one regulator-ready ledger.

ORDENTRA unifies multi-year CapEx, milestone-based payments, long-lead procurement and FERC-aligned exports on one operational ledger. Built for investor-owned utilities, co-ops and municipal operators whose rate cases and capital programs both live or die on the same numbers.
THE OPERATIONAL REALITY

Your regulators expect project cost transparency your current ERP cannot produce. Every rate case turns into a 6-month forensic exercise.

Energy and utilities carry the highest regulatory reporting burden of any industry we deploy into. Every capital project has to survive a prudence review. Every operating dollar has to be categorised to a FERC account. Every asset retirement has to hit the books on the right date, in the right jurisdiction. And every rate case forces finance, engineering and legal to reconstruct numbers that should never have drifted in the first place.

The reality

Your regulators expect project cost transparency your current ERP cannot produce.

Today

Every rate case becomes a 6-month forensic spreadsheet exercise. Finance, engineering, and legal pull from different ledgers to reconstruct the same numbers.

With ORDENTRA

CapEx and OPEX sit on a single ledger with project-level, FERC-account-level, and jurisdiction-level attribution — ready for rate case in weeks, not quarters.

The reality

Long-lead procurement and milestone payments run in parallel universes.

Today

Transformer buys, switchgear orders, and turbine contracts are tracked in project management tools. Milestone payments are reconciled in AP weeks later.

With ORDENTRA

Milestone-based payment workflows live on the same record as the PO, the project WBS, and the AFUDC calculation — designed for end-to-end commitment accuracy.

The reality

Asset retirement accounting is always wrong by one quarter.

Today

ARO and asset retirement events are reconciled manually at close. Fixed-asset and operating ledgers drift every quarter and are painful to unwind.

With ORDENTRA

Asset retirement events are recognised as operational events — not close-cycle projects. ARO calculations and fixed-asset entries stay synchronised in real time.

THE ENERGY & UTILITIES PLAYBOOK

Six capabilities calibrated to rate cases, CapEx discipline, and the regulators you actually answer to.

Every ORDENTRA utility deployment ships with these six capabilities active from day one. Calibrated for the regulatory jurisdiction you operate in, the chart of accounts you report against, and the capital program you are already running.

CapEx-OPEX unified ledger

One ledger captures both operating spend and capital project cost, with automatic FERC account mapping and regulatory jurisdiction attribution.

Designed as a single source of truth for rate cases

Multi-year project tracking

Project horizons run up to 10 years with WBS, AFUDC, and budget-to-actual variance at any reporting cadence.

Target: cut project cost variance by 30%

Milestone-based payments

Progress billings, retention, AFUDC and milestone releases handled inside the same record as the PO and the WBS.

Built for end-to-end commitment accuracy

Long-lead procurement

Transformers, turbines, switchgear and specialty alloy orders managed with 2–5 year horizons, supplier capacity signals, and anchor-buy planning.

Designed to protect critical-path milestones

Asset retirement accounting

Asset retirement obligations calculated in real time from operational events — stranded-cost, decommissioning and impairment included.

Built to accelerate quarterly close

Regulator-ready exports

FERC Form 1, RUS, and state PUC exports generated directly from the ledger — with full evidence trail and jurisdiction-level breakdowns.

Target: rate case prep in weeks, not months
DESIGN TARGETS

What we’re building toward, measured at the capital program.

Targets set with our founding design-partner cohort for IOUs, co-ops, and municipal operators. Calibrated against capital budget, rate base, and regulatory jurisdiction.

Target: −30%
Project cost variance

Design goal for variance between approved project budget and final capitalised cost on projects over $5M.

Target: 99%+
Commitment accuracy

Goal: open commitments matching the final invoiced value within a 2% tolerance.

Target: ≤ 3 wks
Rate case prep

Design target for elapsed time from rate case kickoff to submitted filing evidence.

Target: −40%
Project close time

Goal for reducing time from substantial completion to fully capitalised and closed project in the fixed-asset ledger.

Design targets set with founding partners. Measured outcomes at GA, Q2 2026.

COMPLIANCE COVERAGE

Regulator-ready exports generated from the ledger, not reassembled in a spreadsheet.

Utility compliance is the densest in enterprise software. FERC governs federal rate-setting. NERC CIP governs grid security. SOX governs financial controls. ISO 55000 governs asset management. FASB ARO governs retirement obligations. And each state PUC adds its own reporting overlay.

ORDENTRA treats every one of these as a live constraint on procurement, project accounting, and asset lifecycle events. Evidence is generated as operations happen — not reconstructed six months before a rate case lands on the hearing calendar.

Standards supported out of the box

  • NERC CIPGrid security

Audit exports, evidence bundles, and named-user access logs are generated on demand — no separate GRC bolt-on required.

DESIGN PARTNERS

Built for utilities and their regulators, with a founding cohort forming now.

Status
Pre-launch · Design partners wanted

ORDENTRA is being built for the finance, engineering, and regulatory leaders at IOUs, co-ops, and municipal operators who know that every capital project has to survive a prudence review and every operating dollar has to map to a FERC account. If your last rate case was a six-month forensic exercise, we want to build with you.

We’re taking on a small founding cohort of utility design partners before Q2 2026 GA. Design partners get weekly build sessions with our founding team, direct input on the CapEx-OPEX ledger, milestone-payment, and rate-case export workflows, and pricing locked for the first two years of GA.

FAQ · ENERGY & UTILITIES

Questions finance, engineering and regulatory ask in the first call.

Everything we have heard from the last 40 industry deployments. If something is missing, ask during the demo.

Can ORDENTRA generate rate case exports for our state PUC?

That’s part of the design. ORDENTRA is pre-launch, and we are building templates for FERC Form 1, RUS, and the largest state PUCs — including California, Texas, New York, Illinois, Florida, and Pennsylvania. Each export will pull from the unified CapEx-OPEX ledger with FERC account mapping, jurisdiction attribution, and a full evidence trail. The rate case export surface is one of the workflows we’re building with our founding utility design-partner cohort before Q2 2026 GA.

How does ORDENTRA handle CapEx budget approval workflows?

Capital budgets flow through an auditable gating workflow — from business case, through investment committee, to board approval, to release. Each gate captures the approving entity, the supporting documentation, and the date stamp. Post-release, the same ledger handles change orders, scope adjustments, and reforecasts — with the same audit trail SOX auditors already know how to read.

Does the platform support FERC compliance requirements?

Yes. FERC account mapping is configurable to your chart of accounts, and the ledger supports both traditional (FERC Uniform System of Accounts) and adjusted (regulatory asset, regulatory liability) treatments. AFUDC is calculated in real time on eligible construction work in progress. Evidence and supporting documentation flow directly into FERC Form 1 exports without intermediate spreadsheets.

Can you run alongside our existing EAM and GIS systems?

Yes. ORDENTRA typically deploys alongside Maximo, IFS, SAP PM, and ArcGIS. We treat asset records, work orders and spatial attributes as first-class inputs to procurement and project workflows — not a parallel data store. Two-way synchronisation is standard, and asset lifecycle events (commission, retire, impair) are recognised on the ledger in real time.

What is the typical energy & utilities deployment timeline?

ORDENTRA is pre-launch with Q2 2026 GA. Our planned pilot shape is 10–12 weeks on a single business unit including ERP, EAM, GIS, and top supplier integrations, plus FERC account mapping and regulator export validation. Enterprise rollouts at IOUs and large co-ops are sized in the 9–14 month range and sequenced around rate case filings, fiscal-year closes, and major capital programs. Exact timelines will be tuned with the founding design-partner cohort before general availability.
