Sabreez

What Sabreez does

Sabreez, PBC is a Delaware-incorporated Public Benefit Corporation founded in 2014 and headquartered in Newburyport, Massachusetts, with a team of 1–10 employees. The company has developed the Clean Energy Factor® platform, a consumer-facing clean energy forecast built around three proprietary metrics: the Wind Number™ and Solar Boost™, which combine into the Clean Energy Factor® — a single number indicating when grid power is clean and cheap. The methodology is protected by U.S. Patent Number 9851701 and is computed from real-time and forecast data sourced directly from regional electricity-balancing authorities CAISO (California) and ERCOT (Texas), with stated coverage also extending to Massachusetts.

The platform is delivered through a real-time API and a Clean Energy Forecast API that incorporate congestion and losses data, enabling behavioral demand response without requiring smart-home hardware. The primary customer segment is Community Choice Aggregators (CCAs) — public agencies that procure electricity on behalf of communities and need to reduce peak demand, meet Resource Adequacy (RA) compliance goals, and improve customer engagement. Sabreez positions itself against scarcity-based utility messaging by offering an 'abundance' signal that encourages consumers to shift usage to cleaner, cheaper hours.

Sabreez monetizes through commercial API licensing under multi-year written Commercial Software License Agreements, with pricing structured as a percentage of the customer's business use case and organization size, supported by a satisfaction guarantee against competing emissions-reporting platforms. Go-to-market is API-first and event-driven, combining content marketing, webinars targeted at CCA program managers, and direct enterprise outreach through a dedicated licensing page. The company operates in California, Texas, and Massachusetts, with no disclosed external investors beyond a 2017 Cleantech Open accelerator entry.

Core offering

Sabreez licenses real-time and forecast APIs that deliver its proprietary Clean Energy Factor® metric to Community Choice Aggregators (CCAs) and program managers. The data, sourced from regional balancing authorities CAISO and ERCOT, indicates when grid power is clean and cheap, enabling CCAs to shift load, lower procurement costs, and engage consumers without requiring smart-home hardware. The platform is protected by U.S. Patent Number 9851701 and is sold under multi-year Commercial Software License Agreements.

Product overview

Sabreez offers a unified platform centered on the Clean Energy Factor®, which combines two proprietary metrics—the Wind Number™ and Solar Boost™—into a single consumer-friendly insight. The platform provides real-time and forecast APIs for commercial licensing to Community Choice Aggregators (CCAs) and program managers. The Clean Energy Factor signals when power is clean and cheap, enabling behavioral demand response without requiring smart home technology. The product ecosystem includes the core Clean Energy Factor metric, its component Wind Number and Solar Boost metrics, real-time API, Clean Energy Forecast API, and daily forecast services. Data is sourced from regional electricity-balancing authorities including CAISO (California) and ERCOT (Texas).

Differentiator

Problem solved

Functional benefit

Brands

• Clean Energy Factor®: A measure of the relative quantity of renewable energy available on the power grid to consumers, calculated as the sum of the Wind Number and Solar Boost.
• Wind Number™
• Solar Boost™

Products and services

• Real-time API A real-time application programming interface that delivers current Clean Energy Factor values, incorporating congestion and losses data to optimize energy use, automation, reduce costs, and enhance grid reliability. Licensed commercially to CCAs and program managers under a Commercial Software License Agreement.
• Clean Energy Forecast API A forecast API that provides Clean Energy Factor predictions over a day or longer, enabling program managers and consumers to plan energy usage during optimal clean energy periods.
• Clean Energy Factor® Platform The core Clean Energy Factor® metric that combines the proprietary Wind Number™ and Solar Boost™ into a single, consumer-friendly number indicating when power is clean and cheap. A CEF of 200 or higher indicates a great time to use energy. Delivered to CCAs via licensed APIs for downstream consumer engagement.
• Daily Clean Energy Forecast A daily forecast service that notifies users about upcoming clean energy availability, helping consumers plan energy usage to coincide with periods of high renewable energy generation.

Quantifiable outcome

• A Clean Energy Factor of 200 or higher indicates a great time to use energy

Direct peers

• Recurve: Recurve provides open-source-based grid flexibility analytics and operates the OpenEEmeter platform for energy efficiency and DR measurement. It is comparable to Sabreez as both sell analytics on top of grid data to inform load shifting and demand response at the community/utility level.
• Uplight: Uplight provides customer engagement, energy efficiency, and demand response software to CCAs and utilities across the U.S. It is a direct peer because both companies sell API/software platforms that enable CCAs to shift load, run DR programs, and engage end customers — overlapping directly with Sabreez's core value proposition.
• Kevala: Kevala (Mosaic) is a clean energy data and analytics platform serving CCAs, IOUs, and developers with grid and DER insights. It is a direct peer because it overlaps with Sabreez in turning ISO/RTO data into decision-useful signals for community energy providers.
• EnergyHub: EnergyHub operates a DER management platform that utilities and CCAs use to orchestrate residential demand response across smart devices. It competes for the same enterprise buyers as Sabreez and is comparable in providing programmatic load-shifting signals to retail electricity customers.

Broad incumbents

• AutoGrid (Schneider Electric): AutoGrid, now part of Schneider Electric, offers a broad energy data and distributed energy resource management platform to utilities and grid operators. It is a broad incumbent that overlaps with Sabreez's grid-data-to-customer-signal approach but as part of a much larger DERMS portfolio.
• OATI: OATI provides energy trading, scheduling, and grid management software to utilities, ISOs, and market participants. It is a broad incumbent in grid and energy data analytics whose capabilities touch on similar input data and customer segments as Sabreez.

Emerging players

• WattCarbon: WattCarbon is an early-stage company focused on clean energy optimization and emissions-hour analytics for utilities and developers. It is an emerging player with partial overlap to Sabreez's clean energy signal and forecasting capability.
• OhmConnect: OhmConnect runs a residential demand response and behavioral DR program for California customers. It is a partial-overlap emerging player because it translates grid carbon/cost signals into consumer behavior shifts — adjacent to but distinct from Sabreez's CCA-focused API offering.
