What is FlexOps?

FlexOps is Rodan’s managed operations service for facilities, generation and energy assets participating in electricity markets. One team owns market registration, SCADA and telemetry integration, dispatch execution, energy and Operating Reserve optimization, and settlement validation.

FlexOps is technology agnostic. Rodan dispatches and optimizes batteries, natural gas generation, solar, microgrids and hybrid systems, helping asset owners participate reliably without building an internal market operations desk.

Who FlexOps is built for

C&I Operators Facilities enrolled in demand response or market programs that need reliable dispatch execution without adding internal operations coverage or risking missed response windows.

Power Producers Generation and storage asset owners who need dispatch coordination aligned with real-time market signals, with no gaps between signal, control and response.

Energy Asset Owners Organizations deploying batteries or DERs that need assets integrated, commissioned and responding to market signals correctly from day one, without post-COD rework or performance risk.

Developers. Asset developers who need an operations partner involved before COD, so technology selection, integration, commissioning and market participation are designed around how the asset will actually run.

What you can expect from FlexOps.

Rodan runs the operational stack and gives your team clear reporting after each event. You see how the asset responded, how performance affected settlement, and what revenue impact followed, without having to monitor grid signals directly.

Event performance reports

After each dispatch, you receive a clear summary of how your assets responded, how performance affects settlement and where execution can improve.

Settlement outcome visibility

Dispatch performance is tied directly to settlement results, so your team can see how asset response translates into payment.

Escalation when it matters

If an asset misses a response window or a performance issue arises, Rodan flags it and works to resolve it before it impacts settlement outcomes.

FAQ

FlexOps FAQs

Getting started with FlexOps begins with an evaluation of the energy assets or facilities that will participate in dispatch events. Rodan works with your team to understand the market programs involved, the operational capabilities of the assets and the telemetry or controls infrastructure required.

Once the assets are connected, FlexOps begins monitoring system operator signals and coordinating dispatch responses. This ensures that the operational framework is in place before the next event occurs.

Organizations often deploy FlexOps alongside other Rodan platforms to strengthen overall energy management. For example, FacilityIQ can provide performance visibility across facilities, while SettlementIQ verifies financial outcomes.

If the organization participates in demand response programs, FlexOps helps ensure dispatch signals are executed reliably.

The goal is to create a dependable operational layer that allows energy assets to participate in electricity markets without requiring a full internal operations desk.

FlexOps executes dispatch signals by continuously monitoring system operator communications and interpreting those signals in real time. When a dispatch instruction is issued, the system immediately identifies the relevant assets and coordinates the required operational response.

Rodan’s monitoring infrastructure ensures that signals are received without delay. Once interpreted, dispatch instructions are transmitted to the appropriate facilities or energy assets so operators can implement the required adjustments.

This process eliminates the need for internal teams to manually monitor grid communications. Instead, FlexOps provides a structured workflow that ensures dispatch execution occurs reliably and within the response windows defined by electricity markets.

Facilities can verify their operational response through FacilityIQ, which tracks energy consumption and event performance across connected sites. If participation generates revenue through demand response programs, those payments can later be validated through SettlementIQ.

By coordinating signal monitoring and execution, FlexOps ensures that assets respond consistently to grid events.

FlexOps improves operational reliability by providing continuous monitoring of system operator signals and coordinating dispatch responses automatically. Instead of relying on manual oversight, the platform ensures that signals are detected and acted upon immediately.

This reliability is particularly important in markets where response windows are short. Missing a dispatch signal or responding too slowly can result in penalties or lost revenue opportunities.

By centralizing dispatch monitoring, FlexOps eliminates gaps that can occur when responsibility is distributed across multiple teams or vendors. Rodan acts as the single accountable partner responsible for receiving signals and coordinating the response.

Facilities can confirm operational performance through FacilityIQ, which provides real-time visibility into site-level response. Settlement outcomes related to these events can then be verified using SettlementIQ.

This combination of monitoring, execution and validation creates a more reliable operational framework for energy demand management.

FlexOps supports energy market participation by ensuring that assets respond reliably to dispatch signals issued by system operators. Many electricity markets require participants to respond within specific time windows, and failure to do so can result in penalties or lost revenue.

By monitoring signals continuously and coordinating operational responses, FlexOps helps ensure that participating assets remain compliant with market requirements. This reliability is essential for organizations participating in programs such as demand response programs or ancillary services.

FlexOps also provides operational visibility so asset owners can confirm that dispatch events are executed as expected. When paired with FacilityIQ, teams can see how individual facilities respond to dispatch signals.

Financial outcomes from market participation can then be verified using SettlementIQ. For organizations that also track market conditions, MarketIQ™ offers additional insights into system activity.

Together these capabilities create a reliable framework for participating in electricity markets.

FlexOps works alongside other Rodan platforms to create a more comprehensive energy management environment. While FlexOps focuses on dispatch execution and operational response, other tools provide complementary insights.

For example, MarketIQ™ provides visibility into electricity market conditions and system activity. This information helps organizations understand the broader context behind dispatch signals.

PeakIQ focuses on peak demand forecasting and alerting, helping facilities prepare for potential peak events. Meanwhile, FacilityIQ tracks facility performance during events so teams can verify how assets respond.

After events occur, SettlementIQ validates billing and settlement outcomes to ensure revenue and costs are calculated accurately.

Together these platforms create a connected ecosystem that links market intelligence, operational execution and financial validation.

Energy demand management refers to the process of controlling or adjusting electricity consumption in response to grid conditions, market signals or operational strategies. Large energy users and asset operators often use demand management to reduce peak demand charges, participate in electricity markets or support grid reliability.

FlexOps supports energy demand management by providing a managed operational layer that executes dispatch signals from system operators. Instead of requiring internal teams to monitor grid instructions around the clock, Rodan receives those signals and coordinates the appropriate operational response.

This approach is particularly valuable for organizations participating in demand response programs or managing energy assets that respond to market signals. FlexOps ensures that dispatch instructions are executed consistently and within required response windows.

Organizations often pair FlexOps with FacilityIQ to monitor facility performance during events and SettlementIQ to verify settlement outcomes. When broader market visibility is needed, MarketIQ™ provides additional electricity market intelligence.

Together these tools support a more coordinated approach to energy demand management.

FlexOps can manage a variety of energy assets that participate in electricity markets or respond to dispatch signals. These assets may include flexible industrial loads, battery energy storage systems, distributed energy resources and other controllable power systems.

For commercial and industrial operators, demand management often involves adjusting facility operations during grid events. For power producers and asset owners, dispatch may involve responding to system operator instructions related to generation or storage.

FlexOps provides the operational framework required to monitor these signals and coordinate the appropriate response. Instead of managing each asset individually, organizations gain a centralized operational layer that ensures consistent execution.

When assets operate across multiple facilities, FacilityIQ can provide visibility into how each location performs during events. If participation results in market payments or program revenue, SettlementIQ helps confirm settlement accuracy.

This integrated approach allows organizations to manage a portfolio of energy assets more efficiently.

Organizations need managed dispatch services because electricity markets operate continuously and dispatch signals can occur at any time. Without dedicated monitoring, facilities risk missing response windows or failing to execute dispatch instructions correctly.

Building an internal operations desk capable of monitoring grid signals 24 hours a day is expensive and operationally complex. FlexOps addresses this challenge by providing a managed service that monitors system operator signals and coordinates dispatch responses on behalf of participating assets.

When a signal is received, FlexOps translates it into operational instructions that ensure assets respond within the required timeframe. This reliability is critical for organizations participating in demand response programs or other market-based services.

Facilities can track operational performance using FacilityIQ, which provides site-level visibility into energy consumption and event response. Financial outcomes can then be verified through SettlementIQ.

By outsourcing dispatch monitoring to a dedicated platform, organizations reduce operational risk and improve participation reliability in electricity markets.
