WattShed Baseline

Live, self-serve

Check what the event actually curtailed, before paying on it.

Baseline gives a funder the independent check that should precede every performance payment: what did the event actually curtail. Load your own interval export, mark the event windows, and Baseline computes the comparable-day baseline the way public demand-response manuals describe it, then subtracts what the site actually used. It replicates a published industry convention and says so; it is not any market operator's certified settlement calculation, and it never claims to be.

What it does.

  • Builds a comparable-day baseline from the site's own recent history, matching weekdays to weekdays.

  • Reports each event's baseline, actual, and curtailed energy, with the days used listed on the result.

  • Flags thin history, gaps on the event day, and events where usage rose instead of falling.

  • States its method and its limits: a published convention, not a certified settlement.

  • Runs in the browser on your export. Nothing uploaded or stored.

Who it is for.

Utilities and public program administrators

Sanity-check vendor-reported event performance before it enters a filing or a payment run.

Funders paying performance incentives

Verify the curtailment number independently before disbursing on it.

Program evaluators

Reproduce a reported result from raw interval data, with the method visible.

How it works.

01

Load the intervals

An interval export for the site, a few weeks around the event. It stays in the browser.

02

Mark the events

Event dates and hour windows, exactly as called.

03

Read the curtailment

Baseline versus actual for each event, the comparable days listed, the caveats attached.

What it does, and what it deliberately does not.

Baseline does

Replicates the published comparable-day baseline convention

Baseline does not

Does not produce any market operator's certified settlement

Baseline does

Verifies performance from the site's own data

Baseline does not

Does not upload, store, or transmit interval data anywhere

Availability.

The event check is live today as a public self-serve tool, no account required, nothing uploaded. Standing event verification wired to a live program is arranged with WattShed directly.
