Backtest the structure against real NEM settlement data. Layer on the DNSP network cost stack from your own tariff schedule. Price the interconnector congestion risk through IRSR auction spreads. The analytical layer alongside your broker or advisor, A$299/month, versus A$25,000 to A$80,000+ for an equivalent specialist advisory engagement.
Current Australian market rates from specialist PPA advisory firms (Energetics, Schneider Sustainability Business, Edge2020) run from around A$25,000 for a single-site fixed-price evaluation through to A$80,000+ for a multi-counterparty structured engagement with seasonality, indexation and inter-regional congestion modelling. The deliverable is a slide deck and a spreadsheet, both static, both out of date the moment the next AEMO dispatch interval clears.
A quoted PPA $/MWh covers the wholesale half of your delivered electricity cost. The DNSP network charges (demand, energy, fixed) layered on top often add A$30–80/MWh. Without modelling both halves together, the PPA looks cheaper than it is.
If your PPA is in a different region from your load, IRSR settlement residue spreads are the market-implied price of that congestion risk. Spreadsheets don’t price it. The buyer who ignores it is short an option they didn’t know they sold.
Test fixed, indexed, cap-and-floor, CfD and hybrid composite PPA structures against the full NEM settlement history. Seasonal profiles, CPI indexation, collar metadata and a settlement-waterfall chart that breaks the saving down quarter by quarter.
Upload your DNSP tariff schedule (PDF or workbook) and gridIQ extracts the demand, energy and fixed charges per customer class. The backtester layers the network cost stack on top of spot or contract prices so a quoted PPA $/MWh is benchmarked against the all-in delivered cost, not just the wholesale half.
Inter-regional settlement residue spreads from AEMO’s SRA auction results. The market’s own price of interconnector congestion risk on every NEM cross-border path. If your PPA generator and your load sit in different regions, this is the spread you’re implicitly long or short.
Track retail and wholesale contracts with mark-to-market valuations against current spot prices. See exposure as it changes interval by interval, not at quarter-end when settlement statements arrive.
Every contract gets an automated monthly performance snapshot: delivered MWh vs contracted, variance %, spot VWAP, effective strike and a settlement estimate that respects your collar bounds and sleeve fee. Idempotent and audit-trail-ready, so a year-end review is a query, not a rebuild.
A reliability and output-consistency score for every tracked generator. Rank counterparties before signing: a 5% delivery shortfall on a 10-year PPA is the difference between a good deal and an expensive one.
Ask Watt to backtest a strike price against the last 24 months, run scenarios against indexation paths for your seasonal profile, or pull MLF and curtailment history for a specific DUID. Live AEMO data, plain English in, structured intelligence out.
Enter your candidate PPA with fixed, indexed, cap-and-floor, CfD or hybrid composite structure in one form, no advisor sit-down required. Seasonal profile, indexation and sleeve fee all in one place.
Watt runs the structure against the actual NEM settlement dataset with captured-price and cannibalisation deltas surfaced quarter by quarter. A settlement-waterfall view shows where the saving comes from, and where it disappears.
Upload your DNSP tariff schedule (PDF or workbook) and gridIQ extracts the demand, energy and fixed charges per customer class. The all-in delivered cost is benchmarked against the wholesale-only quote, so the PPA is judged against the bill it will actually displace.
