Smarter CP Strategies: Medium & High Probability CP calls

We’ve proud to announce that we have introduced a two-tiered probability format for Coincident Peak (CP) event forecasting, starting with AESO:

  • High Probability: Designed for critical alerts—lower frequency, higher confidence

  • Medium Probability: Broader coverage of potential peaks—lets you weigh operational risk vs. participation

  • This gives you more control over how you respond to events and allows teams to align responses with internal thresholds.

  • Currently convering AESO (12 CP), ERCOT (4CP), PJM (5CP), IESO (GA)
    Expanding to other markets soon.

🔹 New: Medium and High Probability CP Formats

Our Price and Demand forecasting solutions continue to evolve as your predictive command center. This quarter, we introduced a major enhancement to our Coincident Peak (CP) forecasting:

You now have more control over how you respond to peak events.

  • High Probability CP calls focus on certainty—fewer calls, stronger signals

  • Medium Probability offers broader coverage, allowing you to weigh risk tolerance and operational flexibility

This new structure supports a more strategic response to potential peak periods. Currently available for AESO, with ERCOT (4CP), PJM (5CP), and IESO (GA), other models following soon.
