Modo Energy's benchmarks track battery revenues and revenue opportunities across different markets.

With Ko you can understand the different benchmark types, pull a benchmark's revenue numbers, compare multiple benchmarks, or understand the methodology.

Understand the types of benchmarks

Modo Energy provides four types of benchmarks. You can ask Ko about each one:

• Asset Derived — the performance of real grid-scale batteries, built from asset-level data.
• System Derived — the performance of the battery energy storage fleet based on system-wide operational data.
• Spread (TB) — the theoretical arbitrage opportunity between the day's highest and lowest prices.
• Virtual asset — modelled revenue from running Modo Energy's global dispatch model for a configured battery.

Pull and compare benchmark revenue

For any benchmark, you can ask Ko for the revenue numbers for a specific time horizon, in your chosen granularity and unit.

You can also compare two benchmarks — one region against another, or one duration against another — to see where the difference sits. Quickly track how revenues are shifting over time, weigh one market against another, or pull a defensible number into a valuation or board pack.

Benchmark an asset against the market

When you want to know how a specific asset or portfolio is doing, you can measure it against the relevant index on a like-for-like basis.

You can use Ko to measure a specific asset or portfolio directly against any benchmark.

This is useful when you want to assess whether an asset is beating its market, see region-specific portfolio performance, show an owner where their portfolio stands, or explain a performance gap to an investment committee.

Turn the data into a chart

After pulling data, you can have Ko chart it. Try asking Ko to create a revenue time series, a stacked market breakdown, or a multi-benchmark comparison.

Understand how a benchmark is calculated

Every Modo Energy benchmark has published methodology, and Ko understands it. You can ask how a figure is built, which markets a methodology covers, or what sits inside a specific index, and Ko explains it in plain language with a link to the source.

That means you can rely on a number knowing exactly what's behind it, and answer methodology questions without digging through the docs yourself.

Configure custom indices and virtual assets

Beyond the published benchmarks, you can build a custom index or a virtual asset on the Modo Energy Terminal.

• A custom index is a benchmark you can build for a specific set of batteries you would like to track, rather than a market-wide index
• A virtual asset is a simulated battery configured around your exact specifications

Ko can walk you through the options as you set one up: which markets are supported, which filters and parameters are available, and what each choice does to the result.

See the full guides on creating a custom index and a virtual asset.

Analyse custom indices and virtual assets

Once you've built a custom index or virtual asset, Ko can read it alongside the published benchmarks. You can pull its revenue, track how it's trending, and see which markets are driving the result.
