Gridmatic, the industry-leading AI-enabled power marketer, today (Dec 10) announced major growth milestones in its energy storage and retail businesses, reflecting the critical need for AI-powered forecasting and expertise to provide predictability, automation, and optimization for asset owners and commercial and industrial customers.
Under its storage business, Gridmatic has established a strong footprint in ERCOT and CAISO, the two largest and fastest-growing markets for battery energy storage. Cumulatively, Gridmatic has inked a total of 300 MW / 1 GWh under management, with projects including a system in Texas deployed by Energy Vault (NYSE: NRGV). In addition to its growing portfolio, Gridmatic's AI has proved to have dramatically improved battery storage performance and revenue generation across its portfolio. Gridmatic's ERCOT BESS revenue in the first half of 2024 was $113/kW/year annualized a 61% revenue uplift versus the average ERCOT revenue of $70/kW/year annualized for the same time period.
"We're seeing significant interest from storage owners, in part due to our ability to offer differentiated solutions such as a guaranteed revenue floor and shared revenue above the floor," said David Miller, Chief Commercial Officer of Gridmatic. "Further, Gridmatic is the leader in Day Ahead Real Time Trading in ERCOT, a critical capability as real time energy revenue becomes a greater focus for storage systems in the growing ERCOT market."
Since launching as a Retail Energy Provider in ERCOT in early 2023, Gridmatic Retail has grown significantly, and is serving a diverse book of commercial and large data-center opportunities. Gridmatic Retail offers stable, predictable clean energy contracts designed to reduce costs for commercial and industrial energy users.

"The momentum we're experiencing across our trading, storage, and retail lines of business isn't just a sign of our own growth it's an indication of where the energy industry is heading," said Matt Wytock, CEO and Founder of Gridmatic. "The future belongs to AI-enabled power marketers who can integrate advanced forecasting with real-time market dynamics. By harnessing AI-based forecasting to predict supply, demand, and pricing, we are creating synergies that drive stability, efficiency, and value across the energy landscape, accelerating the shift toward an intelligent, responsive grid."
