With AI infrastructure and data center power demand surging, energy management startups and ESG reporting companies need electricity usage data. However, KEPCO (Korea Electric Power Corporation) data is non-standardized and difficult to classify by building type or time period, requiring 2–4 weeks of developer effort to process. Teams end up rewriting parsing and normalization code for every project.
A service that cleanses KEPCO power data (including public datasets) and provides (1) a standard REST API for electricity usage by building type, region, and time period, (2) time-series analysis endpoints (peak detection, baseload, pattern recognition), and (3) carbon emission conversion data for ESG reporting. Differentiated developer experience via OpenAPI 3.0 docs and Python/JS SDKs.
