About BaseloadOS

"Public" power-generation data is distributed across agencies, formats, and reporting systems. This makes energy data fragmented and difficult to research, even when the underlying records are public. Such difficulty results in high token-costs for agents, and great cognitive load for humans.

BaseloadOS is an energy infrastructure database being built to make U.S. power-sector data more transparent and accessible. The BaseloadOS suite is built around a proprietary normalization protocol that categorizes billions of data points on generators, facilities, owners, and related infrastructure in the United States.

BaseloadOS' suite consists of three products: a free, interactive map including relevant demography data; a competitive MCP service that allows AI agents to query BaseloadOS’ dataset; and a tiered terminal, allowing users to define custom metrics, generate graphs, and create tables.

BaseloadOS doesn't limit users to a static dashboard. Our goal is to democratize tools used to examine energy markets and allow users to understand the infrastructure behind them at any level of complexity. Long lead times in power plant construction result in temporary energy bottlenecks and predictable boom-bust cycles in energy markets. As energy demand grows, these cycles become more volatile. However, participation in these markets is practically limited to those with the highest budgets. BaseloadOS aims to lower the cost of that access by more than 95%.

In its current state, the database consists solely of energy data. However, as we scale, we hope to expand the database to include financial information, legal documentation, permits, and data beyond the energy sector entirely.

We build for scholars, journalists, professional analysts, retail investors, consultants, and nerds. If you are among those listed, consider joining our waitlist.

What is baseload?

Baseload is the relatively continuous minimum level of electricity demand on a power system over a period. Historically, the term was also associated with power plants designed to operate steadily for long periods, including many nuclear, coal, hydroelectric, and geothermal facilities.

Baseload demand is not the same thing as a “baseload power plant.” Modern grids can meet continuous demand through combinations of renewable generation, storage, flexible generation, transmission, and demand response. BaseloadOS takes its name from this foundational power-system concept while examining the wider and dynamic U.S. energy system.
