EMPRIS for innovation

EMPRIS is an analytics platform that empowers users to interrogate UK energy market raw data and generate new insights into the market.

Through EMPRIS, ElectraLink is reproducing the data that underpins the retail energy market, making it available in a granular, pseudonymised format and empowering users to move beyond standardised monthly reports by enabling them to investigate, discover, and share a deeper understanding of the energy market.

Introducing EMPRIS 2.0

Showcasing a new look and feel, the redesigned user interface provides users with a smoother journey and better usability to make sure that all users have a great experience using EMPRIS.

Additionally, we have added more time-saving tools that allow you to perform deeper analysis. You can expect:

Running 2 queries at the same time allows users to run a query whilst still working on another, or run 2 queries simultaneously for easier output comparison.

→ Scheduled results refresh:

The ability to select a time to automatically refresh results ensures users are working with the most up-to-date outputs for queries they run regularly.

 

→ Results history:

Users can view historic results generated for a query to allow for comparison against specific periods.

→ Code snippets:

This new feature streamlines the query writing process with the ability to create, insert, and manage snippets of code to capture quick and useful pieces of code for future use.

→ Query parameters:

Create, insert, and run a parameterised query to speed up query amendments with the added ability to share them with colleagues to support less experienced coders.

 

→ Comments within queries:

Users can add comments to provide additional information for a query without impacting its running.

→ Dashboard widgets:

Dashboards can be customised to display the most useful information to the user by adding, removing, or rearranging widgets.
