About EnergyReader

EnergyReader.io is an independent intelligence publication for professional traders in oil, gas, LNG, power and carbon markets. We track 108+ primary sources — exchanges, regulators, system operators, weather agencies, IOCs and NOCs — and publish concise, sourced briefings designed for people who already know the market.

How we work

Every briefing on this site is drafted with the help of large language models from a curated pool of primary-source material that our pipeline has already retrieved, deduplicated and ranked by importance. The drafting model is not browsing the open web. It is reading specific, named sources we've selected — ENTSO-E settlement data, AGSI+ storage figures, OPEC and IEA reports, ECMWF and NOAA forecasts, exchange notices, central bank releases, and a defined list of newsroom feeds.

Before a draft is published, it passes 15 deterministic quality gates that check word count, citation coverage, numerical grounding against the source pool, entity grounding, source diversity, price reality against our live price feed, contract specification, regional benchmark consistency, and temporal freshness against live storage data. Drafts that fail hard checks are quarantined, not published.

Every claim in a published article is traceable to a named primary source. The "Sources" block at the foot of each brief lists them with links and publication dates.

Editorial accountability

EnergyReader is human-edited. Editorial decisions — what topics get covered, which sources count, where the bar is for publication, when something is wrong — are made by a human, not the model. Corrections are issued in the open: factual errors are amended in place with a note, and any briefing we get materially wrong is revisited in the weekly "What We Got Wrong" column.

Contact for corrections, feedback, or tips: [email protected].

Byline policy

Briefings carry the byline "EnergyReader Newsroom" rather than a fabricated personal name. The system that produces a draft and the editor who is accountable for it are distinct roles, and we'd rather be transparent about both than dress up the workflow.

What you can rely on

• Numbers come from named primary sources. They are checked against our live market-data feed before publication.
• Forecasts are attributed to the agency that issued them (ECMWF, NOAA CPC, IEA, OPEC, etc.) — never to "analysts" without a source.
• Regional benchmarks are matched to their region: TTF for European gas, Henry Hub for US gas, JKM for Asian LNG. Cross-regional references require an explicit LNG arbitrage mechanism.
• Positioning references (COT data) name the specific contract.
• Internal "[chunk_N]" citation markers used during drafting are stripped before the article is published; the reader-facing "Sources" block is the citation surface.

Independence

EnergyReader is not affiliated with any exchange, producer, trader, or sell-side desk. We do not take sponsored placements inside briefings, and we do not run paid promotional content alongside editorial. The site is funded by its operator.
