California Power / Energy Plant Consultant

We are Power Settlements.  We make settlements easy.

Power Settlements is a consulting and software company that specializes in assisting energy companies with validating and automating all of their ISO and bilateral settlement processes. 

Settlement analysts perform a very data intensive process that involves the settlement of potentially billions of dollars for their company.  Industry-wide, settlements is a largely manual process performed in spreadsheets. 

Our SettleCore™ software is used to put an application framework around the settlement process in order to instill automation, process controls, validations, traceability, and auditability into the settlement process.  We believe that with the right software in place, settlement analysts will not need to spend their time calculating settlements, but rather will have significantly more time to focus on data analysis, alerting the traders to the results of the after-the-fact settlement of their trades, and finding and filing more disputable transactions – all of which impact the company’s bottom line.
