deSide ®
Let me start by noting that we have compiled an extensive description of the deSide® software package, which is available on its own product portal at the following address:

The description below provides a brief introduction...
First released in 2004, and progressively enhanced since that time, deSide is a product that has been specifically developed to meet the needs of large energy users operating in Australia's National Electricity Market (NEM).
deSide® = Decision Support for the Demand Side
deSide is installed software that can assist large energy users (who spend more than $1M each year on electricity), no matter which of the following categories best describes your energy purchasing practices, at present:
|
Are you already an active participant in the electricity market (i.e. one who already incorporates the benefits of spot price exposure into your contracting arrangements)? |
For convenience, we'll label you "type 3" (a classification continued on the portal). You're well aware of the benefits on offer, and are mainly concerned about timely, detailed and reliable (live) data feed to assist you in securing these benefits (and managing your risks). As such, deSide® Silver Model will best meet your needs. |
|
Are you currently on a standard retail contract, but interested in considering your options for more active participation? |
For convenience, we'll label you "type 2" (a classification continued on the portal). Because of your current focus on investigation, the analytical capabilities built into deSide will be the ones of most value to you, at present. As such, deSide® Bronze Model will meet your needs, most cost-effectively (as you don't need to pay a premium for added data reliability, at this stage). |
|
For whatever reason, you are unable to consider curtailability - as such, you will remain with a focus on re-contracting for electricity at opportune times (i.e. the times when you will most likely secure the lowest energy prices, moving forwards). |
For convenience, we'll label you "type 1" (a classification continued on the portal). Even just by timing your entry into the market (for renewal of your retail contract) you can secure significant savings on your retail contract rate. As such, deSide® reContractTM will best meet your needs. This add-on to deSide works in conjunction with the NEMFuturesUpdater |
