Nodal API

In addition to our Tariff and Bill Calculation APIs, which calculate economics “behind the meter”, Clarity Grid maintains a full suite of wholesale locations and pricing for the 6 US ISOs for examination of “In Front of the Meter” economics.

These sets of data and analytics allow users to identify locations of physical generation or load-serving infrastructure on the Grid and compare pricing across time and locations. All nodal data is formatted logically based upon specific ISO protocols and includes data fields for pricing specific nodal/zonal/hub prices for energy and ancillary services.
