Plaid for utility data

The energy transition needs its own version of Plaid: a unified infrastructure layer that gives developers instant access to accurate, granular utility data. Every upgrade we want to see across homes and businesses—solar, storage, electrification, demand management, carbon accounting—depends on knowing how energy is actually being used. Today that data is slow, fragmented, and hard to retrieve at scale. Bayou Energy solves this by building the standard API for utility data. With over 66% U.S. coverage, they provide instant access to historical and ongoing usage data through a simple developer-first platform. Transparent pricing and a one-click consumer authorization experience make it easy for any energy application to plug in.

This visibility unlocks the next wave of energy innovation. Without granular utility data, solar installers can't size systems accurately, energy-management tools can't optimize consumption or savings, and carbon accounting platforms can't meaningfully calculate emissions. Bayou Energy democratizes this data and brings it into a reliable, unified interface that the entire sector can build on. As more developers adopt the platform, Bayou is positioned to become the foundational data layer for the energy transition—powering the tools, services, and decisions that accelerate decarbonization across millions of buildings.
