The grid transition is changing how and when electricity is generated and consumed. This makes planning and operating the grid, managing trading risk and reducing scope 2 emissions increasingly challenging. Innowatts BTM Identification provides meter level visibility to which meters have Electric Vehicles (EVs), PhotoVoltaics (PVs) and Heat Pumps. We use these Insights to inform our forecasts, identify flexibility, and provide our customers the data they need to understand and target the end users with appropriate products and services.

Understanding how each meter’s load changes in relation to each degree increase or decrease in temperature is a key input into our award winning forecasts. This Insight can be used by our customers to identify which meters are best suited for various interventions and products. For example, the deployment of local storage or if they are suited for thermal measures including the provision of upgraded HVAC for efficiency, increased insulation, pre-heating / cooling routines etc.

This easy to use feature is a must-have for teams buying and selling on the power market. Innowatts’ Wholesale Settlements solution allows for the automated capture of wholesale charges, reconciliation and native integration with industry-leading billing providers, allocation of charges against your portfolio at the meter level, and allocation using estimated calendarized consumption. This important capability enables your organization to reduce manual work and improve operational efficiency, while leveraging meter level data to accurately allocate charges.

Employing 50 million meters and two of the best Risk Management and Demand Insight solutions in the power and energy industry, our Mark-to-Market capability is as comprehensive as you will find. Armed with various pricing scenarios and data-backed examples, the Innowatts’ Mark-to-Market Insight will give you and your team an accurate assessment of where you stand. 

With the drive to net zero and the increasing reliance on renewable energy, matching supply to demand is becoming increasingly challenging. To counter this, market mechanisms to support load flexibility are on the rise.

Innowatts BTM Insights identify which meters have optionality now and in the future. Alerts from these Insights can be pushed to control systems to drive action.

Take an extensive look at your customer base and understand what makes the most economic sense for you and your customers with our Profitability Analysis Insight. By examining granular, meter level data, our analysis provides detailed segmentation of customer behavior based on variables including peak contribution, weather intensity, energy intensity, and economic value. These Insights allow for improved energy plan options while meeting and exceeding reliability and affordability goals.

Connecting to data at a granular level enables Innowatts AI to Extract Insights into the usage and generation of electricity behind every meter. Be that a meter at a home, office, commercial or industrial facility or from within the power network. These Insights, in conjunction with our proprietary weather service and bottoms up approach, enables us to deliver award winning forecast accuracy at any level of aggregation within your portfolio and for any time horizon.

The proliferation of Photovoltaics (PVs), Batteries, and other Behind the Meter (BTM) generation, has reached a point where they are having a meaningful impact on demand forecasts. Innowatts ability to identify BTM devices and generate individual forecasts, helps to ensure that the net demand is accurately comprehended. Additionally the generation forecast acts as a key input in the forecasting of load optionality.

Traders and Risk Managers need to anticipate likely wholesale price moves and system peaks. A key factor in driving these pricing moves is the total system load for the market in which you are operating. Innowatts provides an industry leading 14 day ISO Forecast with proven performance during extreme weather events.

Utilizing Innowatts Demand Insights, you can determine your outstanding exposure using our Net Open Position capability which forms part of the Innowatts Risk Management solution.
