Log a curtailment once.
Give every team the same answer

Run a wildlife curtailment on the schedule set by the permit. Operations gets the hours, trading gets the cost, settlement gets the payment treatment, and compliance gets the record for the filing.

  • One event record for every desk
  • Filing deadline tracked from the permit date
  • Royalty-bearing events reach the landowner check
  • Runs on schedule, records on its own

Every summer night, the turbines on this ridge go quiet for the bats. The permit says so. Operations writes down the hours, by hand, by headlight. Trading finds the gap the next morning. The lost hours had a price, and nobody told them what it was. Settlement has to decide whether the landowner gets paid for hours that never ran. And compliance owes the state a report on all of it, built months later, from whatever got written down.

In Flux Energy, the quiet hours are one record. What kind, when it started, when it ended, which turbines, how much energy and what it was worth that night, written once against the turbines' own signal. Operations sees the hours already counted. Trading sees what the night cost, no spreadsheet. Settlement decides, on the event itself, whether it enters the royalty, and the landowner sees the same line. And when the state report comes due, the deadline was already tracked, with every night already under it.

Five fifty-two. The bats are down, the ridge comes back, and the yard below it never stopped. One night. One record. Four desks that agree.

Four teams should not have to reconstruct the same night

  • A permit condition, such as feathering at low wind speeds from dusk to dawn during bat migration, touches operations, trading, settlement, and compliance, and today each desk keeps its own copy of the hours.
  • Operations logs the stop by hand. Trading finds the gap in the production curve the next morning with no price attached. Settlement has to decide, from memory, whether the landowner is owed anything for it.
  • Compliance owes the state a filing built from whatever got written down months after the fact. Every desk's number for "how much" quietly disagrees with every other desk's.

Schedule the window and keep the outcome with it

1. Set recurring or one-off wildlife windows

Recurring or one-off curtailment schedules are set once, on the turbine's Environmental tab. The automated runner executes the SCADA curtail and release at the window's start and end. Nobody has to be awake for it.

2. Capture what happened during the stop

Type, start and end time, turbines affected, energy lost, and the market price at that moment are captured on a single curtailment event. Environmental sits alongside grid-instruction and maintenance as a first-class type.

3. The lost hours are priced automatically

Revenue leakage intelligence rolls the event into lost revenue, any compensation received, net leakage, and a recovery rate, so trading sees the cost of the quiet hours without building a spreadsheet.

4. Use the event in settlement and reporting

A loss-to-cash decision marks whether the curtailment enters the royalty base, visible on the same line the landowner sees. Regulatory filings track their deadline with the event already attached, and an automated gap check escalates anything at risk.

A complete record before the morning handoff

A shared calculation for the lost hours

Operations, trading, the royalty statement, and the state report agree, because they read the same event.

Nothing runs unwatched at night

The curtail-and-release cycle executes on schedule, and the record it leaves is complete before anyone checks it in the morning.

Filings that don't start from memory

The deadline is tracked from the day the permit is issued, and the events are already there when the report is due.

Where the curtailment record is used

Royalty settlement

The loss-to-cash decision on a curtailment event is the same decision that shapes the royalty statement.

BESS routing

The battery yard can keep working through a curtailment window while the turbine event is recorded.

Bankability

Curtailment events are part of the same settled-period record a lender's model draws its production from.

Common questions

Does Flux Energy decide when to curtail for wildlife?

No. The permit does. Flux Energy runs the schedule you set on it: a recurring window (dusk to dawn during migration) or a one-off exception, with the automated runner executing the curtail and release at the times you configured.

Can a compensated curtailment show up on a landowner's check?

Yes, when the loss-to-cash decision marks it royalty-bearing. The same line appears on the landowner portal alongside production and CPI detail.

Does this cover grid curtailment too, not just environmental?

Yes. Curtailment events carry a type, such as grid instruction, environmental, or maintenance. Revenue leakage intelligence rolls up lost revenue and recovery rate across all of them.

How does the state filing actually get built?

The filing pulls from the same event record: deadlines are tracked from the permit date, and the curtailment events for the period are already attached when the report comes due. The filing itself is a package you assemble and submit, not something that writes itself.

What if a window needs to change mid-season?

One-off schedules can be added alongside the recurring rule, so an exception doesn't require rewriting the whole season's window.
