“The ContractCore module of the PowerCore platform has been extremely helpful in processing 500+ invoices each quarter. Prior to the implementation, this process took 5-8 business days to complete, but after the go-live, it takes only 4-5 hours. The meter data, calculation, invoice creation/approval, and email generation process have also streamlined our invoicing process by taking away manual work. The team made sure our requirements were well-understood and they provided the solutions that we needed.”

“PowerCore was the clear choice to provide us with comprehensive bid-to-bill functionality that could handle our complex renewable bidding and settlements requirements for the CAISO market. They worked closely with us throughout the implementation process to meet all our specific requirements, and the Terra-Gen team has already derived significant benefits in multiple areas. The PowerCore modules we licensed have helped us more quickly bid, analyze, optimize, and report on the performance of our renewable and hybrid fleet, significantly enhancing our CAISO market participation and, ultimately, the more efficient delivery of clean energy to customers.”
