Reduce Texas
Power Costs.
Pay Only When
You Save.

LumenicGrid monitors ERCOT in real time and automatically reduces your facility's power draw during price spikes — eliminating 4CP transmission charges. You pay 12% of verified savings. Zero fee if savings aren't confirmed.

The Problem

Texas Power Costs Are Unpredictable

Bitcoin miners and data center operators in Texas face energy cost volatility that threatens margins — and most are paying more than they should.

⚡

4CP Transmission Surcharges

Four 15-minute windows each summer (June–September) determine your annual transmission charges. Missing these windows can cost facilities millions. Most operators have no automated way to respond.

📈

ERCOT LMP Price Spikes

Real-time prices on ERCOT can jump from $30/MWh to $5,000/MWh with little warning. Facilities running at full capacity during spikes pay at peak rates and miss curtailment revenue opportunities.

🔌

Static Load Profiles Hurt Margins

Running at 100% capacity regardless of grid conditions is costly. Flexible operators who can reduce load during peak events and restore quickly have a structural economic advantage.

How It Works

Three Steps. Zero Upfront Cost.

LumenicGrid's shadow trial observes your facility without controlling any equipment. We validate what savings look like before you commit to anything.

01
Days 1–60

Shadow Integration

We connect to your telemetry read-only. No hardware changes. No control of your equipment. The system observes your load profile alongside ERCOT LMP data for 60 days.

02
Day 60

Savings Validation

GridBrain calculates what your costs would have been with optimal curtailment. We produce a Savings Validation Report showing projected savings, 4CP exposure, and LMP optimization opportunities.

03
Day 61+

Performance Agreement

If the savings projection meets your threshold, we activate live curtailment. You pay 12% of verified savings, confirmed monthly. No savings = no fee.

What counts as "verified savings"?

Savings are verified against your ERCOT settlement statements each month:

1

4CP transmission charge reduction — compared to your baseline load at each of the four peak windows

2

ERCOT real-time LMP savings — when curtailment occurs during high-price intervals, the delta vs. your baseline is logged

3

Each month, LumenicGrid produces a Savings Verification Report showing calculation methodology and source data

4

Your 12% fee is applied only to the verified portion — you review and approve before payment

ERCOT Context

Why 4CP Season Matters for Your Bottom Line

Texas's unique ERCOT grid structure creates an unusual opportunity: your transmission charges for the entire coming year are largely determined by your load during just four 15-minute windows each summer.

These Four Coincident Peak (4CP) windows occur during ERCOT's highest systemwide demand moments — typically hot weekday afternoons between June and September. If your facility is running at full capacity during those four windows, you're locked into high transmission rates for the following year.

LumenicGrid's signal engine monitors ERCOT conditions and alerts your systems — or automatically triggers curtailment — when a 4CP event is likely. Missing even one window can cost a 100+ MW facility significantly.
