U.S. Energy Markets 101
During Winter Storm Uri, Texas electricity hit $9,000/MWh. Some customers got bills bigger than their mortgage. Others earned revenue from the same event. The difference was knowing how markets work.
- → Who controls your electricity price — and why it changes every 5 minutes
- → Why your neighbor might be paying less — and what to do about it
- → 8 strategies to cut costs and earn revenue — from assets you already own

Connected to the Grid in Real Time
Energy Analyst integrates with major RTO and ISO platforms to deliver real-time and day-ahead pricing, demand forecasts, renewable generation data, and grid alerts — directly into your energy management workflow.
Whether you operate in PJM, NYISO, ERCOT, ISO-NE, MISO, or CAISO, our platform pulls market signals and translates them into operational decisions your team can act on immediately.
- Live LMP pricing streamed every 5 minutes
- Day-ahead and 7-day grid forecasts
- Automated alerts when grid stress thresholds are crossed
- Renewable generation and curtailment tracking by zone
- Over 60,000 market sensors monitored continuously
The Gap Between Grid Data and Action
Energy markets are dynamic. Prices can swing dramatically within a single hour, and the gap between peak and off-peak costs is growing as renewable penetration increases. Organizations that can respond to these signals — automatically and intelligently — gain a real cost advantage.
Most facilities are still reacting manually or relying on flat-rate contracts that obscure the true cost of energy. Energy Analyst gives you the visibility to stop guessing and start optimizing in real time.
- Use market forecasts to plan operations ahead of price spikes
- Shift load automatically based on real-time pricing signals
- Avoid expensive peak charges that multiply monthly costs
- Replace reactive decisions with pre-configured automation rules
- Build institutional knowledge into your energy strategy

Stop Paying More Than You Have To
Capacity charges are one of the largest and least understood line items on commercial energy bills — and they're set entirely by what your facility does during a handful of critical peak hours each year. Miss those hours and you could be paying inflated capacity costs for an entire year.
Energy Analyst tracks every capacity tag program in real time, sends alerts before peak windows open, and automatically triggers load reductions to protect your capacity tag — so you're never caught off guard.
- PJM 5CP tracking with real-time event notifications
- NYISO ICAP and CBEP capacity tag management
- ERCOT 4CP season monitoring with predictive alerts
- ISO-NE Forward Capacity Market (FCM) integration
- Automated load control triggered by tag risk thresholds
- Historical tag performance reporting and benchmarking
Automate Your Response. Keep the Lights On.
Demand response programs reward customers who can reduce load during grid stress events. But manual responses are slow, inconsistent, and often missed entirely. Energy Analyst automates participation so you capture every opportunity without disrupting operations.
When a utility or curtailment service provider sends a dispatch signal, Energy Analyst receives it, validates it against your operational constraints, and executes your curtailment strategy — all within seconds, without requiring anyone to pick up the phone.
- Direct integration with utility demand response programs
- Curtailment service provider (CSP) signal automation
- Configurable load shed sequences with equipment blackouts
- Pre-event and post-event performance reporting
- Real-time M&V to confirm response compliance
- Support for Emergency DR, Economic DR, and Ancillary Services
HVAC Staging
Pre-cool spaces ahead of events and stage setpoint adjustments during response windows
Battery Dispatch
Discharge storage assets on demand during peak or DR events to offset grid draw
Lighting Control
Zone-based lighting dimming and shutoff sequences that preserve safety requirements
Process Deferral
Pause or delay non-time-critical manufacturing and industrial processes during events
EV Charging Pause
Intelligently pause or throttle EV charging during grid stress without affecting vehicles needed for service
Distributed Sites
Coordinate simultaneous curtailment across multiple facilities from a single platform
Turn Flexibility Into a Revenue Stream
Energy management isn't just about reducing costs — it's about unlocking the value of flexible load. Facilities that can respond to grid signals quickly and reliably become valuable grid assets, eligible for payments through demand response programs, capacity markets, and ancillary service auctions.
Energy Analyst tracks available program opportunities in your market, measures your dispatch performance against program requirements, and helps you build the performance record needed to qualify for higher-value programs over time.
- Capacity market earnings through load reduction commitments
- Emergency and Economic DR program payments
- Frequency regulation and spinning reserve participation
- Energy storage arbitrage — charge low, dispatch high
- Ancillary service revenue for dispatchable assets
- Performance-based incentive tracking and reporting
Charge Low. Dispatch High. Repeat.
For facilities with battery storage or flexible loads, price arbitrage is one of the most direct ways to monetize grid integration. Energy Analyst continuously monitors real-time and day-ahead pricing to optimize when you charge assets versus when you dispatch them.
The platform models both the current price spread and your storage constraints — accounting for state of charge, cycle limits, and operational requirements — to build a dispatch schedule that maximizes value without compromising reliability.
- Day-ahead price forecasting to plan storage scheduling
- Real-time price tracking with automatic dispatch triggers
- Battery state-of-charge optimization across the day
- Round-trip efficiency factored into every arbitrage decision
- Combined arbitrage + capacity tag strategy for stacked savings
From Market Signal to Automated Action
Energy Analyst closes the loop between what the grid is doing and what your facility needs to do — in real time, without manual intervention.
Market Data Ingested
Energy Analyst continuously pulls pricing, load forecasts, weather data, and grid conditions from RTOs, ISOs, utilities, and third-party feeds — updated every 5 minutes or faster.
Intelligence Applied
The platform analyzes incoming signals against your facility's operational profile, constraints, and response strategies — generating real-time recommendations and automated alerts.
Action Executed
Pre-configured automation rules trigger load control, storage dispatch, or operator notifications — executing your strategy the moment the market creates an opportunity or risk.
Beyond the RTO: Direct Utility Connectivity
Market participation is only part of the picture. Energy Analyst also integrates directly with local utilities to support rate optimization, time-of-use management, and direct load control programs — giving you full visibility from the wholesale market all the way to your meter.
Interval meter data, utility demand response signals, and rate structure information flow directly into the platform, enabling automated responses that align your operations with both market conditions and your specific rate design.
- Green Button and AMI meter data integration
- Time-of-use and peak demand rate optimization
- Direct load control program participation
- Automated meter reading and interval data analysis
- Bill validation and utility charge reconciliation
Orchestrate Every Asset on Your Microgrid
Modern facilities increasingly operate their own distributed energy resources — solar, storage, backup generation, flexible loads, and EV charging. Coordinating these assets manually across multiple systems is error-prone and leaves value on the table.
Energy Analyst acts as the intelligence layer across your DER portfolio, coordinating dispatch decisions based on market conditions, operational priorities, and grid signals — all from a unified platform.
- Solar generation forecasting integrated with load planning
- Battery BESS dispatch optimization (charge / hold / discharge)
- Generator run scheduling based on grid and market conditions
- EV charging coordination across charging networks
- Microgrid islanding and reconnect logic support
"Leveraging real-time market prices and grid forecasts allows our facilities to maximize price arbitrage, minimize grid stress, and capture demand response revenue we were previously leaving on the table. The automation means we don't have to staff for it — it just works."
