Your electricity costs are driven by when you consume, not just how much. gridIQ gives you the 5-minute price visibility and forward-looking intelligence to shift flexible loads into cheaper windows, before the bill arrives.
Wholesale prices can spike above $2,000/MWh for a single 5-minute interval, then settle back below $80. By the time you see it on your bill, the opportunity to respond has passed weeks ago.
AEMO publishes 288 dispatch intervals per day across five NEM regions, plus 48 trading intervals in Western Australia’s WEM. Manually tracking prices, generation mix, and forecasts across all six regions in spreadsheets means you are always looking at yesterday’s market.
AEMO publishes forward-looking price forecasts as CSV files on NEMWEB. Downloading, parsing and interpreting them fast enough to act on is a full-time job, or an expensive consultant engagement.
The gridIQ Pro plan is $499/month ($399/month billed annually). A single well-timed load shift at a large commercial site can save $10,000+ in a day. The maths works on day one.
Identifies the cheapest and lowest-intensity operating windows for your flexible loads, factoring in price forecasts, renewable generation patterns and weather data. Plan maintenance shutdowns and production schedules around market conditions, not gut feel.
Your flexible load is not just a cost lever, it is a revenue opportunity. Model what your demand response participation could earn at the $300/MWh Wholesale Demand Response Mechanism (WDRM) threshold, against your actual load profile. Turn the same operational lever that saves on the bill into a second income line.
Live 5-minute dispatch prices across all five NEM regions plus 30-minute prices for Western Australia’s WEM, all six regions updated continuously. See price history, generation mix, carbon intensity and market health scores at a glance. WEM price tiers are calibrated to WA’s $324/MWh cap.
Set price thresholds, carbon intensity triggers and pre-dispatch warnings that notify you via email, webhook, or Slack before conditions hit, not after. React to the market in minutes, not days.
Ask questions about today’s market in plain English. Watt draws on live prices, forecasts, generation mix, carbon intensity, weather, interconnector flows, NEM events, MLF data, demand response modelling, peer benchmarks, and more. No query language, no dashboards to configure.
gridIQ reads your NEM12 interval data, computes rolling 30-minute maximum demand windows and tracks the running monthly peak against your prior baseline. When a new peak is forming, an alert fires before the interval closes. The dollar impact is translated using your network demand rate, so you know exactly what avoiding that spike is worth before it locks into the bill.
Did shifting your load to cheaper windows actually save money? gridIQ reads your NEM12 interval data, prices every half-hour at the settlement-preferred regional reference price and compares the actual cost against what a flat-price consumer of the same volume would have paid. The result is stored each month so you can see whether your load-shifting strategy is producing savings over time, not just that load was shifted.
Automated detection of price spikes, negative prices and high renewable penetration events across all NEM regions. AI-enriched summaries explain what happened and why, so you can brief stakeholders in minutes, not hours.
Land in the Load Shift Advisor. Watt names the cheapest and lowest-intensity 4-hour operating window in your region for the next 72 hours, factoring price forecasts, renewable generation and weather.
Price threshold, carbon intensity trigger, or pre-dispatch warning. Delivered by email, Slack, or webhook before the condition hits, so you can act, not just review the postmortem.
Move a single production schedule, pre-cool, or pumping run into the window Watt identified. One well-timed load shift at a mid-to-large site routinely covers the subscription many times over.
Three weeks of full Pro access to test the entire workflow against your own load: live prices, Load Shift Advisor, demand response modelling and Watt AI, before you commit to a single dollar.
