What CAISO data provides
CAISO publishes operational and wholesale-market data for the California ISO region. Core datasets include price data and market results from day-ahead and real-time markets, system demand and demand forecasts, transmission outage and capacity status, and selected generation, renewable, and reserve data.
CAISO’s OASIS system provides official data related to the transmission system and wholesale market. Its datasets are commonly used to monitor price movements, supply-demand conditions, grid constraints, and market outcomes across the region.

Shooju connect to the data source you need either via one of 320+ prebuilt processors or set up a new one.
Shooju tailors the collection strategy to each dataset and business need. Critical data can be collected with near-real-time access where the source supports it, while broader datasets can run on a scheduled cadence with an appropriate embedded delay.
Here is how the process works for adding new data source to you new or existing energy data pipeline:
1. You send a new processor request to Shooju
2. Shooju evaluates the access method, format, update schedule, and downstream workflow before configuring the pipeline.
3. It usually takes from 2 to 8 days to scope, develop/adjust and set up a processor for data source you need.
4. Once connected, Shooju monitors ongoing ingestion, handles changes or failures, maintains the pipeline as part of managed delivery.
Normalization and metadata enrichment
Shooju maps source data into its proprietary data infrastructure and enriches it based on how your business uses it.This can include products, units, locations, zones, assets, timestamps, report dates, and internal naming conventions, so data can be used consistently across workflows.
