Market Intelligence built for education facilities running 300,000-1,000,000 kWh/month in the CAISO market. We turn your academic calendar-driven fluctuations load into a competitive bid across vetted California suppliers — typically a 22% cut, at no cost to you.
CAISO manages one of the largest power grids in the country with growing renewable energy integration.
California deregulated in 1998, and for education operations that maturity matters: a deep bench of CAISO suppliers means real competition for your market intelligence mandate. We work that field daily so your 300,000-1,000,000 kWh/month load is priced against the whole market, not a single incumbent — leaning on California's standing as the leader in renewable energy adoption with aggressive clean energy mandates.
