$2.1M Lost. Zero Compensation.

Your PPA has a curtailment provision. The grid operator sends setpoint signals. But nobody is reconciling the two. Every month, revenue walks out the door.

Questions from Asset Managers & Traders

What wind operators ask about curtailment tracking

QHow does SlideStrike track wind curtailment?

SlideStrike monitors SCADA setpoint signals, compares available wind energy against actual generation, and categorizes curtailment by cause: grid congestion, negative pricing, ramp rate limits, etc.

QCan it calculate compensation under our PPA?

Yes. SlideStrike applies your specific PPA curtailment terms to each event, calculates owed compensation, and generates claim documentation for offtaker submission.

QWhat about forecasting future curtailment?

SlideStrike models grid congestion patterns, identifies high-risk hours, and provides curtailment forecasts for trading and hedging decisions.
