01 / Expertise
Electricity-market expertise,
made operational.
Electricity is physical, local, nonlinear, and ruled by time.
CurrentIQ combines energy economics, power-market structure, quantitative modeling, and production engineering to connect market conditions, uncertainty, and feasible actions.
Risk under uncertainty
Scenario-weighted downside, cost-of-certainty, and regret views that turn volatility into an explicit decision frame.
Tail riskBudget riskCVaR
Market structure & execution
Product, liquidity, and execution systems informed by how power markets clear—not by a generic financial-market template.

02 / Products & capabilities
From signal
to decision.
Modular systems for recurring market decisions. Start with one workflow, then expand across markets, assets, and users.
Forecast & Scenario Engine
Probabilistic price and congestion views with regime context, driver attribution, and explicit tail scenarios.
Signal → distribution → action thresholdBudget Risk Lens
A board-readable view of expected budget, downside cases, procurement-sensitive spend, and the cost of certainty.
Exposure → alternatives → regret viewAsset & Flexibility Value
Market-aware analysis for storage, solar, flexible load, and peak exposure—grounded in feasible operating choices.
Capability → dispatch value → residual riskMarket Product & Liquidity Systems
Research and production-minded tooling for electricity-market product design, liquidity programs, quoting, and execution controls.
Market need → product logic → control system03 / Research
Research that compounds.
The strongest market tools begin with the right model of how electricity behaves.
CurrentIQ focuses on structures that general-purpose forecasting models often underrepresent: dispatch, scarcity, network constraints, operator rules, and asset state.
Scarcity & tail formation
How reserves, outages, weather, and operator rules create nonlinear price outcomes.
Congestion & locational value
How network constraints translate system conditions into nodal and hub-level risk.
Storage, renewables & flexible demand
How changing net-load shapes move value across hours, locations, and operating states.
Electricity-specific forecasting
Research into models and synthetic priors that encode merit order, dispatch, congestion, and market design.
