Salary benchmarks
Our take
If an energy provider is to scale over time, it is essential for it to take great care in conducting forecasts, reports and pricing that reflect the current state of the market. The most recent market data is used to achieve this, but such data is often not recent enough, and this can lead to great financial risk for energy providers.
Gorilla provides a data-driven analytics platform for energy providers, including tools for dynamic pricing, forecasting, and reporting that reflect real-time energy market data. The company claims that its technology can help energy providers increase their margins and mitigate risk, ultimately empowering them to streamline and scale their operations.
Whilst data-driven energy solutions are becoming increasingly common, these often concern areas such as sustainability or certificate trading, as opposed to Gorilla’s unique focus on forecasting, reporting and pricing. Through its tools, the company aims to help energy providers futureproof their operations, optimise revenue, and facilitate growth through accurate and rapid quoting.
