Ko has access to Modo Energy's benchmark data across all markets we cover. Rather than navigating to individual index pages and piecing together the picture manually, you can ask Ko directly and get a plain-language answer.
One tip before you start: always include a specific time period in your question. A month, quarter, or date range will get you a much more precise answer than an open-ended timeframe.
Note: Ko currently works with Modo Energy's standard market indices and benchmarks only — custom indices are not supported yet.
Compare markets globally
Ko can compare total battery storage revenues across markets — useful for understanding how different regions stack up or where conditions are shifting.
"How do BESS revenues in ERCOT compare to Great Britain in 2025?"
"Which market had the highest battery storage revenues in Q3 2025 — GB, ERCOT, or Australia?"
"How have BESS revenues trended across Europe over the last 12 months?"
Benchmark your fleet against the market
Instead of pulling index pages for each market and comparing manually, ask Ko to do it for you.
Ko can query any of Modo's indices — duration-based (1-hour, 2-hour, 4-hour), regional market indices, and sub-regional indices like ERCOT load zones, GB settlement periods, and Australian zones.
"How has Black Hillock performed against the GB 2-hour benchmark in Q4 2025?" "Which were the top 5 performing 1-hour batteries in ERCOT in November 2025?" "Compare Junction and Al Pastor's revenues in Q4 2025 — what's driving the difference?"
Tip: If you want a breakdown of what's driving an index, ask explicitly — for example: "What is driving the GB 2-hour index in January 2026 — ancillary services or wholesale?"
Understand what happened on high-revenue days
When revenues spike, Ko can tell you when it happened and why — saving you from manually cross-referencing price data and dispatch records.
"When were the highest revenue days for BESS in ERCOT in 2025, and what drove them?"
"What caused the spike in Australian BESS revenues in [month]?"
"Walk me through what happened in GB on [date] — why were revenues so high?"
Understand why performance gaps exist
Ko can explain the strategy and dispatch dynamics behind revenue differences — useful when you're seeing a gap between assets or markets and need to understand the cause.
"Why are 2-hour assets outperforming 1-hour assets in ERCOT right now?"
"What does the revenue split between ancillary services and wholesale look like for top ERCOT assets in 2025?"
A few tips
Ask one question at a time — for performance plus explanation, start with the data, then ask a follow-up
Push for more detail — if Ko gives a high-level answer, follow up: "Can you break that down by ancillary service?"
