Accurate & Detailed
We capture all the details. Every rate component, tariff eligibility rule and rate option. We support every rate structure we've found, from the simplest flat consumption rates, through tiered and time of use pricing, to system and dynamic peaks, complex ratchets and sophisticated billing rules. We have utility service areas and baseline regions, holiday schedules and more.
Always Up-to-date
We track all rate changes and typically QA and publish them in less than 1 business day. That's over 15,000 tariff book updates every month, and growing. We also maintain current electricity market and hourly retail pricing.
RATE ENGINE
World's most powerful rate engine
Our calculation engine takes your electricity usage and returns detailed costs and savings. It's the product of nine years of software development, and is field proven through millions of calculations each day. The only rate engine built from the ground up with the flexibility needed for New Energy and the accuracy demanded by customers.
Blazingly fast. Real time. Internet scale.
Speed and scalability are embedded in the core of all of our calculators, including ones that compute historical and month-to-date bills, compare tariff rate plans, forecast solar and efficiency savings, and signal real-time load and battery optimization. It's flexible, returning results with the cost and time interval granularity you require. All available via our APIs.
