Catspaw - kætsˌpɔ (noun)
A catspaw—a natural ripple pattern caused by the wind—offers a visual guide to the energy on the water’s surface. At Catspaw Systems, we see this as a metaphor for our mission: revealing hidden patterns in renewable energy data. Just as sailors use catspaws to navigate, we help businesses and communities find the clearest path to maximum productivity by making invisible energy flows visible and actionable.

Our Approach to Analytics
We believe in a streamlined, simplified approach to analytics. Instead of offering a rigid platform for basic data visualization, we do the heavy lifting to make your data truly useful. Our process takes raw data from wind and solar plants, standardizes it, cleans it, and manages replacements when bad data is detected—ensuring a reliable, analytics-ready data source. By handling data cleaning, transformation, and generation modeling, we free our clients to focus on what matters most: strategic decision-making.
Furthermore, we believe that your data should work for you—not be locked away in a restrictive system. That’s why we provide full access to your own data, empowering you to analyze, integrate, and utilize it in the way that best fits your needs. Whether you want to run custom analyses, integrate with third-party tools, or develop your own models, we ensure you have the flexibility and control to make data-driven decisions with confidence.
