What Power Info LLC does

Power Info LLC is a privately-held utility IT solution provider headquartered in Bothell, Washington, that specializes in standard-based software for the electric power industry. The company's portfolio is anchored in the Common Information Model (CIM) and related IEC standards, and consists of four offerings: CIMSpy, a model exploratory and engineering tool that supports browsing, visualization, validation, editing, comparison, merging, partitioning, and incremental update of CIM-based power system models; CIMdesk, a customized CIMSpy variant delivered to ENTSO-E and its 41 Transmission System Operators across 34 European countries for CGMES model exchange and mandatory submission validation; M3, a multidimensional model management system with centralized single-entry modeling and time-based modeling; and MET (Model Engineering Toolkit), a component-based toolset with APIs in C++, Python, and Web Services for model validation, topology analysis, and auto-generation of schematic and geo-schematic one-line diagrams. Power Info also offers consulting and custom project delivery in CIM-based model exchange, integrated grid visualization, external network modeling, and tool customization using a model-driven software development methodology.

The company serves a vertical enterprise customer base of more than 100 organizations, including electric utilities (PG&E, Duke Energy, Florida Power & Light, Xcel Energy), RTOs/ISOs (PJM, MISO, ERCOT, ISO-NE), European TSOs (ENTSO-E consortium members including National Grid, RTE, TenneT, Fingrid), EMS/MMS/OMS vendors (GE Grid Solutions, Siemens Energy Management), energy trading firms (Shell Trading Gas & Power), and government agencies (BPA, TVA, WAPA). Operating geographies span the USA, Canada, Mexico, and 36 European countries.

Power Info generates revenue through professional consulting services, custom solutions and project delivery (one-time licenses), software licensing (notably CIMdesk to European TSOs and vendors under an ENTSO-E maintenance contract), and government R&D funding via DOE SBIR grants (notably Phase I awards in 2011 and June 2026). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales driven by consulting engagements, with marketing primarily through IEEE technical publications, the CIMug conference, and direct enterprise outreach.
