Energy market participants can now seamlessly track forecast performance, backtest strategies, and navigate grid volatility in one ecosystem.
Baltimore, MD, USA - August 27, 2026 -Â Sunairio, pioneer of next-generation grid forecasting software, today announced its newest data partner, power grid data and analytics firm Grid Status. Grid Status, which monitors the real-time status of the US electric grid, will now provide independent system operator (ISO) data for Sunairio's forecasting platform, ensuring up-to-date, complete, and reliable data for critical decision making.
Thanks to the new partnership, Sunairio customers can now contextualize and validate Sunairio grid forecasts against official ISO data at scale within a single platform. This enables users to easily monitor energy forecast performance, perform trading strategy backtests, and investigate power market fundamentals through a single user interface and API.
The new capabilities provided by the partnership will better equip users to navigate an increasingly challenging weather and energy landscape. Today's confluence of more frequent weather extremes, higher penetration of renewable energy, and increasing electricity demand have created the perfect storm for the power grid. Clear signals of power grid dynamics are vital for every company exposed to power market risk.
"Any serious forecast consumer needs high-volume and high-quality access to public forecast benchmarks and historical realizations in order to develop commercial strategies. Our new partnership with Grid Status allows Sunairo customers to do just that for all of our grid forecasts within ISO regions," said Sunairio founder and CEO Rob Cirincione.
Cirincione went on to explain, "The importance of quality data to serve as ground truth really can't be underestimated. Sunairio customers can now build end-to-end workflows that train, test, and validate strategies in a single platform that leverages a trusted ISO data provider. No more combining data from different sources, and no more worrying that the historical prices aren't correct."
