Halcyon just launched its fourth data subscription, the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Tracker. We already track gas-fired power generation assets, large load tariffs, and rate case cost of capital proceedings; this subscription deepens and broadens our coverage of US power infrastructure for anyone building, financing, supplying, or underwriting its future. Similar to our other data subscriptions, the BESS Tracker updates monthly, drawing data from every US state public utility or service commission, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and ISOs/RTOs, in a corpus of 5.4 million (and counting) documents. As with our other subscriptions, building and updating the tracker means extracting specific, structured data from a wide array of unstructured context.

Halcyon has an API now.
Plug it into your favorite AI harness.
Plug it into your carefully crafted internal systems.
Just ask your analyst.
Hyperscalers, developers, capital allocators, and energy professionals already using Halcyon’s API are building incredible things. A few have caught me eye:
- Piping fresh air permit filings directly into a CRM to create and update leads
- Cutting legal fees by turning hundreds of IRP filings into a counsel-ready memo
- Creating a tiered 50-state market map for data center site evaluation
- Integrating docket timelines directly into shared calendars for monitoring ongoing and upcoming proceedings
- Accelerating deal diligence with an engine that builds branded utility and project briefing presentations for investor teams

If you follow Halcyon, you know we are builders at heart.
That’s why this post celebrates the torrent of innovative things our customers have already built with our API.
It’s why we choose to talk about outcomes, not features. See some more cool examples here.
It’s why we are offering free trial access to the API.
We want to show, not tell.
Seriously, just ask your analyst.
Editor’s note: Hopefully we’ve piqued your interest and you’re either grabbing an API key or forwarding this to your analyst so they can grab one. For those who feel like this post is reminiscent of something, we must give credit where credit is due. “Ask your developer” was a famous API campaign run by Twilio encouraging their customers to go straight to the source. We were inspired, and we agree.
