Fortune: Half of all new electricity demand in the U.S. last year came from data centers — just as public opinion of them plummets.Common Dreams: US electric grid heading toward 'crisis' thanks to AI data centers.Council on Foreign Relations: America May Not Need a Massive Energy Build-Out to Power the AI Revolution.Canary Media: One way data centers can help the grid? By being flexible.

Data centers are the grid's largest new burden.Their flexibility is its only relief.

Our mission

The AI era doesn't require building more power. The grid already has the headroom. It just can't trust the flexibility that unlocks it.

We're building that trust, so the world can power the age of AI with the energy that already exists.

Someone the grid actually trusts.

When a data center uses less power to help the grid, someone has to confirm it actually happened. We're not the people running the system that turned the power down, and we don't sell to data centers. So when we say the cut was real, the people paying for it believe us.

How it works

We sit between the data center and the grid, measuring what actually happened and turning it into a number the market can pay against.

Direct meter ingest, independent of the orchestrator.

Counterfactual baselines with quantified confidence intervals.

Settlement output formatted to each market's compliance regime.

ERCOT SB6 finalizes real-time telemetry rules for large data center loads.

Built for the markets that matter.PJM, ERCOT, CAISO, RTE, German TSOs, National Grid UK. Each with its own baseline methodology and settlement formula. One integration, every market a data center sits in.

The technology to make data center load flexible is operational.

The infrastructure to verify, audit, and settle it isn't. That's what we're building.
