Energy storage and renewable energy development decisions are getting harder to get right.

Interconnection queues are longer. Market rules keep shifting. And the gap between a project that pencils out and one that doesn't often comes down to the quality of analysis behind it. Bankable analysis takes weeks. Fast platforms aren’t bankable. What if you didn’t have to choose?

On July 15th, CES is hosting a live walkthrough of the CoMETS Consulting Platform — our market intelligence and techno-economic modeling platform built for developers, investors, and asset owners evaluating storage and renewable projects across North American ISO markets.

In this session, we'll cover:

- The fundamental drivers of wholesale power markets — supply and demand dynamics, fuel costs, load growth, and policy signals that shape LMP forecasts
- A guided walkthrough of CoMETS's core capabilities: market data ingestion, dispatch modeling, revenue stack analysis, and risk scoring
- How developers, investors, and asset managers are using CoMETS to move from uncertainty to conviction faster than ever before
- Whether you're evaluating your first project or managing a portfolio, where CoMETS fits into your workflow and what questions it helps you answer

If you're making storage or renewable energy development decisions in US power markets, this session is worth your time.
