Deregulated retail
Energy brokers
Built for brokers operating in choice markets. Enrollment, switch, drop, usage, and settlement records sit under policy. You remain the broker of record.

Power, water, carbon. One operating layer.
UnyKorn Energy is the operating layer for deregulated power, data-center load, water programs, carbon, ESG, and energy RWAs. Built for energy brokers in deregulated markets, data-center offtake, behind-the-meter supply, and ESG desks.
UnyKorn LLC licenses software and administration workflow. It is not a utility, retail electric provider, licensed energy broker, ISO/RTO, carbon registry, appraiser, or investment adviser. It does not take title to power, water, SRECs, or carbon credits.

Wholesale & ISO/RTO
Day-ahead and real-time LMP, capacity, ancillaries, demand response. We keep the operating file. We do not bid your stack.
Load · offtake · BTM
Data centers
Hyperscale and colo load against generation, storage, and behind-the-meter supply. Interconnection, offtake, and meter evidence in one room.
Structuring study
Water & water rights
Water rights are a legal object. They cannot be tokenized as if title moved. Vortex Spring is the study. The operating layer records the program around the right.
On-site generation + storage
Behind the meter
BTM solar, storage, CHP, and future vintages. Meter-to-settlement evidence. The host stays the offtaker.
Future vintages · tier-1 operating assets
Renewables
Operating generation, offtake, REC/SREC vintage, ITC/PTC transfer files. Tier-1 means contracted cash flow and named counterparties — not a slogan.

Carbon & ESG
Portfolio emissions engine is live. On-chain retirement receipts are Q1 2027. Permissioned credit tokens are Q3 2027. Example figures are illustrative.

Energy RWA
Same six procedures as the rest of UnyKorn. The asset is power, capacity, a REC, a removal, or a contracted offtake — not a meme.
Deregulated markets
ISO and RTO rooms. We keep the file.
Choice markets are where a broker can switch a premise. We record enrollment, usage, and settlement against the ISO the premise sits in. We do not bid the stack.

Energy brokers
You remain the broker of record.
The operating file for a choice-market book: enrollment, switch, usage, settlement, evidence. Named operator at every release.
01
Enrollment
Account, premise, utility, and REP of record.
02
Switch
Drop/add, window, and confirmation receipt.
03
Usage
Interval and billed kWh, tagged to the meter.
04
Settlement
Invoice, ISO charge, and mismatch ticket.
05
Evidence
Export the file. Named operator signs.
Never: utility or retail electric provider.
Never: licensed energy broker or iso/rto participant.
Never: title to power, water, srecs, or credits.
Never: carbon registry of record.
Never: tokenization of a water right.

Data centers
Hyperscale and colo offtake. Interconnection queue, contracted MW, and meter evidence against generation and storage.
Behind the meter
On-site solar, storage, CHP. The host remains the offtaker. We record meter-to-settlement, not the electrons.
Future vintages · tier-1
Operating generation with contracted cash flow and named counterparties. REC/SREC vintage and ITC/PTC transfer files sit in the same room.
Vortex Spring · structuring study
Water rights cannot be tokenized.
A water right is a legal object. A token that pretends the right moved is a false statement. Vortex Spring is the structuring study. The operating layer records the program around the right — permits, meters, offtake, evidence. Title stays where the state put it.

Energy RWA · Legacy Chain rails
Energy as an RWA uses the same six procedures.
Issue, qualify, subscribe, settle, administer, monitor. The asset is contracted offtake, capacity, a REC, or a removal credit — never a slogan. Legacy Chain holds the legal rails and estate registry. UnyKorn remains the software control plane.
