📊

Fragmented Market Data

BMRS, Elexon, NGESO, EPEX — critical data scattered across dozens of portals with inconsistent APIs and CSV exports from the 2000s.

5+ data sources, zero integration
💰

Enterprise Price Tags

Market analytics platforms built for utilities with 10,000 employees. Minimum contracts start at six figures. Smaller operators get priced out.

£100k+ typical annual licence
📄

Byzantine Compliance

REMIT reporting, BSC obligations, distribution connection agreements — all managed through manual processes and regulatory portals that haven't been updated in a decade.

40+ hrs/month on compliance admin

Everything an operator needs. One platform.

Each module works standalone or together. Start with what you need, add more as you grow.

Built by an energy market quant, not a consultancy

Blackstart is built by a developer with hands-on experience across the UK energy sector — from LCCC (Low Carbon Contracts Company) and LGIM to renewable energy project delivery. We've lived the pain of fragmented data, overpriced tools, and compliance chaos. This is the platform we wished existed.
