About Yes Energy

Yes Energy, founded in 2008 by Michael McNair and four industry peers, operates as a data and analytics provider for the North American power markets. The company is headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, and was established with the principle of being a positive and collaborative partner for its clients. McNair, who began his career in the energy sector in 2001, leads the company as President and CEO.

The firm serves a diverse client base that includes traders, power companies, asset managers, and developers. Its business model centers on providing comprehensive, cleaned, and standardized power market data through a subscription-based service. This data encompasses historical and real-time information such as ISO/RTO data, Locational Marginal Pricing (LMP), transmission and generation outages, and load forecasts. Clients can access this information through various delivery methods, including a graphics-rich analytics platform, API, data lake, or a cloud-based database. This approach allows market participants to analyze complex nodal markets, track performance, and make informed decisions.

Yes Energy's product suite is designed to support the entire workflow of its clients. Key offerings include PowerSignals, a tool for real-time and historical data visualization used by over 1,000 power traders; DataSignals, which feeds data directly into clients' in-house systems; and QuickSignals, for real-time market monitoring via custom dashboards and alerts. The company also provides solutions for risk management, infrastructure project tracking, and long-term planning with tools like GridSite™ and Position Management™. Through a series of strategic acquisitions, including Live Power, The C Three Group, TESLA, Inc., and Power Settlements, Yes Energy has expanded its capabilities to include real-time grid monitoring technology, infrastructure project data, forecasting solutions, and bid-to-bill systems.
