Senior Project Manager AI & Data at Large German energy provider

AI Assistance and Target Vision for Partially Autonomous Energy Portfolio Management

Building an AI control layer directly on the up-to-date daily live portfolio of a large energy provider — not as an isolated pilot, but as an operational extension of the existing DB1 and portfolio management. The goal is the gradual development from assistance through monitoring/alerting to analysis agents with Human-in-the-Loop approvals, supplemented by a role-specific System of Engagement alongside the BI System of Record. At the same time, the business case, target vision and management pitch compared with static monthly reporting are being developed.

  • AI control layer: Design and build on the existing live portfolio data product (several million contracts) — development stages assistance → monitoring/alerting → agents with Human-in-the-Loop approvals.
  • LLM-supported data analysis: Semantic queries, SQL/tool integration and additional RAG components based on portfolio, plan-versus-actual and data quality data (Azure OpenAI, Snowflake), with drill-downs to individual contract level.
  • Analysis agents: Multi-stage agents for variance and driver analyses of churn, price adjustments, volumes and procurement costs.
  • Views concept: Role-specific interfaces for business units, management and C-level as a System of Engagement alongside the BI System of Record.
  • Business case & pitch: Target vision and cost-benefit argumentation compared with static monthly reporting.
  • LLM setup (privacy & security): Coordination with IT Security and Data Protection — EU region, data separation and approval processes.
  • Agent architecture: Multi-stage agent pipelines (analysis → validation → summary) with documented data sources, tool calls, review steps and source references for each statement.
  • Data foundation: Built on the up-to-date daily DB1 data product (Snowflake, dbt) — portfolio, plan-versus-actual and data quality metrics as the common basis for all AI analyses.
  • Guardrails & evaluation: Evaluation and approval processes for LLM responses relating to management-relevant statements — test sets, metrics and human review.
  • Prototyping & validation: Iterative validation of agent responses with the business unit — test question catalogue, feedback loops and response quality for each release.
  • Roadmap & development stages: Detailed stages from assistance → monitoring/alerting → partially autonomous management, including transition criteria and governance for each stage.
  • Integration: Integration into the existing BI and data landscape — BI remains the System of Record, while the AI layer provides interactive drill-down paths as the System of Engagement.
  • Enablement: Enablement of business users — prompting guides, training and an operating model for ongoing use.
  • Management: Coordination of business units, Data Engineering, IT Security and Data Protection.
  • Change Management: Communication and expectation management with business units and management throughout the development stages.

Results:

  • Built on an existing up-to-date daily data product with several million contracts
  • Established an LLM setup coordinated with Data Protection and IT Security in the EU region, including data separation and approvals
  • Defined three development stages through to partially autonomous management
  • Designed role-specific views for business units, management and C-level
  • Developed the business case and management pitch for the development stages
  • Established an iterative response-quality validation process with the business unit
  • Designed the operating model for assistance operations and initiated validation

Stack: Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Foundry, Snowflake, dbt, React, TypeScript, Entra ID, RAG, Agentic AI, analysis agents, Human-in-the-Loop, Prompt Engineering, LLM Evaluation, LLMOps, GDPR / EU region, Azure DevOps, Python, SQL, Change Management

About the technology

Utility Core

SAP IS-U, also known as SAP Utilities or IS-U, is SAP’s industry solution for energy and utility companies. It supports customer and contract management, device and meter data, billing, invoicing, and receivables across complex utility processes. Companies use it to run reliable operations for electricity, gas, water, and related services.

Key Processes

The solution connects the commercial and technical sides of utility delivery. Strong specialists understand how master data, move-in and move-out processes, meter reading, billing schemas, rate facts, payment handling, and dunning work together. They also account for exceptions such as reversals, corrections, and mass processing.

  • Configure contract accounts and business partners
  • Design billing and invoicing processes
  • Manage devices, installations, and meter readings
  • Support migration, testing, and production releases

Ecosystem

SAP IS-U projects often involve SAP S/4HANA Utilities, SAP CRM, FI-CA, ABAP, and middleware. Depending on the landscape, professionals work with SAP Fiori, integration services, APIs, IDocs, and external market communication systems. Knowledge of data models, enhancement points, authorizations, and batch processing is central to sustainable delivery.

When to Hire

Companies bring in freelance expertise when a utility transformation needs focused capacity or scarce process knowledge. Common triggers include an S/4HANA transition, a billing redesign, a merger of customer data, a release upgrade, or a production issue affecting invoicing. In Munich, on-site workshops can complement remote delivery for local utility teams and German-language process owners.

  • Stabilize billing and invoicing operations
  • Prepare data migration and reconciliation
  • Improve interfaces with market partners
  • Support regulatory or process changes

Strong Specialists

A strong SAP IS-U specialist links configuration decisions to measurable business processes. They can trace a billing result through master data, device information, rate configuration, and FI-CA postings. They document assumptions, test edge cases, communicate clearly with business stakeholders, and protect data quality during changes.

Project Fit

Before engaging an expert, define the utility division, SAP release, affected modules, integration points, and expected deliverables. Clarify whether the work is advisory, configuration, development, testing, cutover, or support. Remote collaboration works well for structured delivery; on-site sessions may help with workshops, handover, and incident resolution.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to the questions that come up most around SAP IS-U.

SAP IS-U is used by energy and utility companies to manage customers, contracts, devices, meter readings, billing, invoicing, and receivables. It supports complex processes for electricity, gas, water, and related services.

SAP IS-U is the established utility solution and is commonly found in ECC-based landscapes, while S/4HANA Utilities provides a newer foundation and modernization path. The right choice depends on the current system landscape, transformation goals, integrations, data quality, and long-term SAP strategy.

A strong SAP IS-U specialist often works across FI-CA, SAP CRM, ABAP, S/4HANA Utilities, middleware, and market communication interfaces. Knowledge of utility master data, migration, testing, authorizations, and batch processing is also valuable.

The required background depends on the workstream. A billing redesign, migration, or production stabilization needs proven delivery across the relevant IS-U processes, while a narrowly defined configuration task may call for more focused expertise and strong documentation.

SAP IS-U work can often be delivered remotely through structured workshops, shared documentation, secure system access, and regular testing sessions. On-site collaboration in Munich can still help when utility teams need process workshops, cutover support, or German-language coordination.

For SAP IS-U, clarify the SAP release, modules, utility processes, interfaces, data scope, and project phase before the engagement starts. A clear statement of deliverables helps distinguish configuration, development, testing, migration, and support responsibilities.

Ask an SAP IS-U specialist to explain a complete process from business partner and installation data through billing and FI-CA posting. Good professionals can discuss edge cases, testing evidence, transport discipline, integration risks, and how they would document the solution.

SAP Utilities is most relevant to organizations handling complex customer, metering, billing, and receivables processes at scale. It is a strong fit for energy, gas, water, and multi-utility operations that need integrated commercial and technical workflows.
