Pricing
Capacity-based annual licensing. No per-seat fees, no NWP data surcharge.
Every deployment begins with a no-cost 30-day pilot on your actual asset data. Annual licensing after pilot scales with your forecasted MW capacity — not user count, API call volume, or model run frequency. We absorb NWP model ingestion costs.

The pilot
30 days on your actual assets, with a back-test, before you sign anything.
We stand up Gridvynt on your asset register, connect to your SCADA or historian feed, and run a back-test against your historical actuals before the live forecast goes on. At day 10, you see forecast accuracy for your assets — against your existing NWP baseline, across all horizon buckets. Then we run 30 days of live forecast delivery. You see measured accuracy and reserve commitment results before we discuss contract terms.
- Asset register ingestion (GPS, spec, history)
- Historical back-test report at pilot kickoff
- 30 days of live forecast delivery
- End-of-pilot accuracy report
- No infrastructure changes to your EMS
What we need from you

assets

FAQ
Pricing questions answered.
Tier is set by your total forecasted MW capacity across all assets in the Gridvynt system. Operator covers up to 500 MW, Portfolio from 500 MW to 2,000 MW, and Grid for 10 GW+ deployments. Capacity can be expanded within the tier; if you cross a tier threshold, the rate adjusts at your next annual renewal. We don’t retroactively bill for capacity increases mid-contract.
Yes. The pilot runs at no cost. We do not charge for the 30-day evaluation period. For complex integration environments (e.g. custom OATI message formats or non-standard SCADA protocols), we may propose a modest setup engagement fee — we will tell you upfront before kickoff if your environment requires it. Annual licensing begins after you sign the production contract at pilot close.
A written accuracy report comparing Gridvynt forecast performance versus your prior NWP baseline across all horizon buckets (0–12h, 12–36h, 36–72h), by weather regime, and by asset. MAE, RMSE, and skill score are all reported. Then we have a commercial conversation. You are not obligated to sign. We ask that you tell us your decision either way so we can plan capacity allocation.
No. The reserve commitment engine — the module that converts P-band output into MW thermal reserve targets aligned with your NERC BAL margin requirements — is included in all tiers. There is no separate module fee for reserve engine access.
Yes. Gridvynt absorbs all NWP model ingestion costs (GFS, ECMWF-IFS, NAM, and HRRR). You do not pay a separate NWP data line item, no WRF license is required from your team, and no additional weather data subscriptions are needed. The subscription price is all-in for the forecast service.
Yes. Grid tier customers typically negotiate 2–3 year terms with rate protection and capacity expansion commitments. Multi-year contracts can be structured annually-billed or quarterly-billed depending on your procurement process. Shorter initial terms (12 months) are available for all tiers after the pilot period.
