Catalyst Cooperative
Catalyst Cooperative is an all-remote employee-owned software and data engineering consultancy that publishes analysis-ready open energy system data serving the public interest. We believe that energy system data is a vital public good, and that enabling a just transition requires that many different stakeholders have the ability to do quantitative analysis. We build and maintain scalable, reproducible data pipelines to support organizations working on the energy transition, and specialize in transforming messy, semi-structured data from a wide variety of public sources into unified, programmatically accessible databases. We use scalable, industry leading technologies to continuously integrate and deploy our data products, including machine learning pipelines that can link disparate but related datasets, and extract structured data from unstructured documents like regulatory filings. Our data products are used in energy system modeling, utility financial accountability, and energy policy analysis by NGOs, academic researchers, climate advocates, and companies deploying clean energy across the US.
