Private-sector energy information provider Genscape is offering complimentary access to energy reports to fill the void left by the shutdown of agencies such as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Energy Information Administration.

EIA and NRC employees are joining the ranks of those furloughed during the government shutdown, meaning that many regular data reports will be suspended.

“With the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the Energy Information Administration (EIA), and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) all reporting potential inabilities to issue reports vital to the proper functioning of the commodities and energy markets, Genscape is leveraging its vast proprietary network to ensure transparency and efficiency to all market participants,” the company said in a press release this morning.

Genscape will provide complimentary access to its “Daily Power Reactor Status Report”, which physically monitors and captures hard data at 82% of the nation’s nuclear power generation facilities to backstop the NRC’s “Power Reactor Status Report” as a public service.  You can find it here.

“Genscape is also preparing to backstop the EIA Weekly Cushing Oil Storage Report, as well as the USDA corn crop yield forecast,” the company said.
