Automate Registration and Settlement of Demand Response Data
RTO Automation™ is a proven energy management tool that facilitates the registration, settlement, and validation of Demand Response data for Utilities and Curtailment Service Providers (CSPs).
Each year, thousands of hours are spent by utilities and CSPs filing registration and settlement data with their RTO during the annual Demand Response season. RTO Automation™ software eliminates this manually-intensive activity by automating registration and settlement processes. The software allows utilities to rapidly file curtailment contracts and other consumption data directly with an RTO, avoiding labor-intensive data transfers from disparate CRM and billing systems.
RTO Automation™ was developed by a team of professional developers with extensive experience in back-end utility infrastructure and enterprise software design. It has been tested using a rigorous series of enterprise-grade QA and Software Testing procedures, deployed for more than 2 years in large utility environments, and can be rapidly integrated with existing CRM and billing systems by our on-side integration specialists.
