Energy Analyst AI
for Data Centers

Powering a data center is not one question. Grid access, tariffs, regulation, on-site generation, storage, power purchase agreements — answers spread across thousands of pages that keep changing.

So we built an analyst that reads them all.

The sources are scattered,
the work is manual,
and the ground keeps moving

Energy analysts are not short of judgement. They are short of hours, because the reading never ends.

The inputs are scattered and unstable

Tariff sheets, queue data, regulatory filings, technology costs, and market prices sit in different places, in different formats, on different update cycles. Most of the analyst's week goes to gathering, not deciding.

Every scenario is rebuilt by hand

Change the load, the site, or the in-service date and the whole analysis is redone from scratch. So teams compare three options when the decision deserves thirty.

The rules move mid-project

Large-load tariffs, cost-allocation rules, and interconnection procedures change while a project is still in development. Yesterday's answer expires quietly, and nothing tells you.

Four domains, one answer

No power decision resolves in a single domain. Move the tariff and the storage case changes. Delay the interconnection and the generation case changes. The engine holds all four at once.

01
Regulatory and policy

What do the rules cost us, and what's coming?

The engine reads the tariff sheets behind your bill: rate eligibility, demand and standby charges, riders, cost allocation. Then it prices pending rule changes against your load, while you can still act.

02
Market instruments

How do we contract for the rest?

The engine compares power purchase agreements, retail supply, hedges, tolling, and demand response. It weighs them on structure, shape risk, and credit rather than on headline price.

03
Grid access

How much power, at which point, by when?

The engine tracks queue position, study milestones, upgrade scope, and who pays. It also covers the flexible-load and curtailment pathways that can move your energization date years earlier.

04
On-site options

Can we bridge the gap ourselves?

The engine weighs gas, fuel cells, solar, and storage as one portfolio, not four studies. It scores them on what actually gates them: permitting, emissions, fuel supply, and time to deploy.

It reads the record so your team does not

The public record

Always available. Read from the primary source and kept current.

Tariff sheets and rate schedules

Riders, demand and standby charges, eligibility rules

Interconnection queues and studies

Positions, milestones, upgrade scope, cost allocation

Regulatory filings and proceedings

Proposed rules, orders, testimony, comment deadlines

Reliability standards and grid codes

Curtailment terms, performance and backup obligations

Technology and fuel cost curves

Generation, storage, and fuel inputs behind an option

Market prices and contract precedents

Settlement history, PPA structures, hedging terms

Your site data

Optional

Only an operating site has this data. Measured load turns demand charges, storage sizing, and contract shape from estimates into answers.

DCIM and BMS telemetry

Interval load, peak coincidence, IT and cooling split, redundancy state

Utility bills and interval meter data

Billed demand, ratchets, the rate schedule you are actually on

Site and asset register

Contracted capacity, existing generation and storage, sheddable load

What comes out, and what it is worth

Illustrative layouts. Figures are placeholders, not market data.

Option comparison

Grid supply, gas, fuel cells, storage, and flexible-load tariffs sized and set side by side on delivered cost, time to power, and the constraint that actually gates each one.

Why it matters

Evaluate thirty options in the time the team used to spend on three.
