We take the deliberate approach in designing our software together to ensure that it speaks
for itself.
We do this so that each client can form their own view of the market, with the
assistance of our software packages. In this small way we're helping to democratise
the electricity market - and hence to make it more sustainable.
On occasions, our efforts to make the electricity market understandable have come to
the attention of the press, leading to a mention in the news. The following is
a record of some of these times:

The massive heatwave across south-eastern Australia
in late January and early February drove demand to unprecendented levels,
sent prices soaring, stretched available supplies to the limit and
led to involuntary load shedding - as reported several times
in The Age, and elsewhere
(such as in "Power hits
dangerous low") on the first day of load shedding.
