HISTORICAL DATA
We have been consolidating energy market information with an emphasis on
de-regulated power markets from system operators, exchanges, OASIS nodes
and government sources for eight years. The resulting database is one of
the most detailed and comprehensive in the industry. Our technology for
the collection, storage and distribution of this information has been
refined since our inception to ensure a continuous flow of quality data
to our customers. Our customers achieve immediate and measurable cost
savings by utilizing our advanced data management and distribution
solutions to support their energy trading, marketing, and risk
management operations.
The capabilities and scope of our historic data offerings provide
immediate benefits to many organizations. Because there is no standard
for publication of market pricing, supply, demand and transmission
information for electric system operators, the acquisition of this
information can be cost prohibitive. The screening and normalization of
this data can be very time consuming. Alternately, the development and
ongoing refinement of sophisticated automated collection tools can be a
risk prone and expensive endeavor. Not with NrgStream. We eliminate the
risk and expense associated with this process by delivering high
quality, normalized data solutions from a single easy to use source. For
some streams our database represents one of the only sources of detailed
historic information available.
DATA AVAILABILITY
NrgStream solutions are available world-wide. The company's physically
secure Data Center houses internally redundant hardware and software
systems. This facility is staffed 24/7 and provides multi-level
uninterrupted backup power. Multiple backbone connectivity further
facilitates server availability. NrgStreams multi-tiered architecture
includes onboard data redundancy, on-site and off-site data backup, and
multi-level hardware/software data security.
