IIR Energy

What IIR Energy does

IIR Energy is a private subscription-based energy market intelligence platform that operates as the energy-focused division of Industrial Info Resources, founded in 1983 and headquartered in Sugar Land, Texas. The company tracks more than 315,000 operational plants worldwide across power generation, petroleum refining, natural gas, natural gas liquids, petrochemicals, and renewable fuels, with a global research footprint spanning 15 offices and 59 languages. Its core product is the EnergyLive platform suite, comprising the EnergyLive Database, Energy Capacity Insights, GenStack (U.S. plant generation and emissions actuals), Disaster Impact Tracker, GeoXplorer, the U.S. Data Center Summary, and Breaking Energy News (BEN). Underpinning these tools is a structured "Research Layers" data architecture covering plants and units, installed base, new builds, retirements, pipelines, transmission, project notices, de-rates, and offline events.

The platform is complemented by recurring published reports (IIR/DOE Weekly Refinery Report, Weekly Ethylene Outlook, NATGAS TODAY, Weekly NatGas Storage Report, Refinery 180 Offline Reports, and Power Outage Reports) and a content layer of IIR News Intelligence, podcasts, and white papers. Revenue is generated through subscription and recurring access to the EnergyLive platform and report portfolio, sold via direct enterprise sales with global field coverage and channel distribution through alliance partners including Reuters, LSEG, ICE, Morningstar, Enverus, Kpler, Aurora by Energy Exemplar, Zema Global, Yes Energy, and others. The customer base spans three named buyer personas: energy traders taking market positions, energy analysts researching fundamentals, and asset owners making long-term infrastructure investment decisions. Distribution is delivered to enterprise energy, commodities, and financial market participants rather than consumers or SMBs.
