The first software suite purpose‑built for the bring-your-own-capacity era.
FirmaOS designs load-enabling power portfolios in minutes, not months. It models what utilities test before they connect new load (deliverability, accreditation, market rules and economics) in one platform.
- Minutesnot months, to design a portfolio
- Every nodein each ISO planning case, with N-1 contingencies
- 10,000+scenarios in one deliverability study
Capacity enables new load only if it passes four tests.
A utility connects a new data center when the supply behind it is deliverable, accredited, compliant with market rules and economic. FirmaOS models all four for every candidate resource, then optimizes across them at once.
-
Deliverable
Capacity that isn’t deliverable can’t enable load.
An in-house AC power-flow solver and a fast DC screening engine replicate the studies that govern load interconnection. They trace flows from every generator and battery to the load site, across ISO planning cases and contingencies.
-
Accredited
Capacity that isn’t accredited can’t enable load.
FirmaOS forecasts accredited capacity (ELCC) for every generator on the grid, by season and as the grid mix changes. A portfolio is built to hold its credit for years, not just on the day it is signed.
-
Compliant
Capacity that doesn’t meet market and utility rules can’t enable load.
Each ISO’s accreditation regime, deliverability study rules and tiers are encoded in every portfolio run. So are each asset’s online date and interconnection limits.
-
Economic
Capacity that isn’t economic won’t be used.
Every portfolio settles against hourly nodal prices, split into merchant energy, storage arbitrage and ancillary services. Historical actuals and long-range forward curves set the value of each resource.
Deliverability sits inside the optimization, not after it.
Under bring-your-own-capacity (BYOC) rules, the capacity a data center brings counts only if it passes the utility’s tests. Most power procurement picks a portfolio first and learns months later whether the grid can deliver it. FirmaOS solves the four tests together, so every portfolio it proposes is deliverable and accredited by design.
One platform
Power flow, accreditation, market rules and economics share one model. That is why FirmaOS finds load-enabling portfolios in minutes, not months.
We own the full stack
We wrote the power-flow solver, the screening engine and the optimizer ourselves, and run them in the cloud. When an ISO changes its rules, we change the model quickly.
Built by power-system modelers
FirmaOS is benchmarked against industry tools. It is built by power-system engineers and optimization researchers, including a co-creator of the GenX optimization toolkit. Meet the team
Real software, solving the real grid.
The film shows how our engine finds sites with robust paths to power. The demo at the top of this page shows the next step: a portfolio that covers the load in every season.
Respond to large‑load requests with a practical power strategy.
Utilities can work with Firma, using FirmaOS to develop strategies for the large-load requests in front of them. Firma Supply can then identify and structure the supply each strategy needs.
Screen each request
Test a large-load request against transmission deliverability and capacity accreditation, so your team sees early what it would take to serve it.
Size the supply it needs
Estimate how much accredited, deliverable capacity the request needs, when it is needed as the load ramps, and where on the grid it can come from.
Test bring-your-own-capacity proposals
Check a customer’s bring-your-own-capacity proposal against your own study rules and accreditation method before it enters formal review.
FirmaOS designs the supply. Firma Supply delivers it.
FirmaOS powers Firma Supply. Our commercial team contracts the portfolio FirmaOS designs and supplies it under one Portfolio Capacity Agreement, so your utility can serve your load.
