Energy Service Provider (ESP)
ESP's can use SIMMARIX to develop detailed usage pattern information on specific sites or groups of sites to design retail or wholesale rates/tariffs. Utilizing the load profiles, ESP's could then conduct "what if?" analyses of different rate options to ensure they were within their revenue requirements for the different rate classes. An ESP utilizing the "what if "capabilities of Simmarix could determine which of their rates best fits for a potential site or group of sites.
SIMMARIX using detailed usage information and billing determinants can calculate and generate an unbundled bill and/or customized bill for ESP's simplest customers all the way up to large commercial and industrial customers using complex and customized rate structures. Bill types and billing periods can be tailored based upon contracts and presented nearly instantaneously over the Internet or transferred directly into a customer information system.
