The OpenADR Alliance is a San Ramon, California mutual-benefit membership corporation that develops, certifies, and promotes OpenADR, the open information-exchange model utilities, ISOs/RTOs, aggregators, and device makers use to automate demand response and dispatch distributed energy resources. It is a standards body, not a service operator: it publishes the OpenADR 2.0a/2.0b profile specifications (approved by the IEC as IEC/PAS 62746-10-1) and OpenADR 3.0/3.1, which abandoned the SOAP-era design and is now defined entirely by an OpenAPI 3.0 contract covering programs, events, reports, subscriptions, VENs, and resources, secured with OAuth 2.0 client credentials. It also runs the OpenADR and EcoPort (CTA-2045-B) certification programmes and their public certified-product databases. Its API posture is honest but narrow: the OpenADR 3 OpenAPI is a genuine, parseable machine-readable contract, and the specifications are license-free, but the Alliance itself operates no developer portal, no api./developer./docs. subdomain, and no hosted API — its canonical specification repository (github.com/oadr3-org) has zero public repositories and requires membership, and the public route to the spec is a registration form that emails download links under terms and conditions. It publishes no consumer energy data and no open grid or market data; it defines the protocol that other parties implement. Home market is the United States, with adoption across Europe, Japan, Korea, and Australia.

OpenADR Alliance publishes 9 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Auth API, Events API, MQTT Notifier API, and 6 more. Tagged areas include Energy, United States, Utilities, Electricity, and Demand Response.

The OpenADR Alliance catalog on APIs.io includes 2 event-driven AsyncAPI specifications and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

OpenADR Alliance’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, developer portal, tooling, support, engineering blog, changelog, and 45 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Energy & Utilities regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Open Source Surface applies to this provider. This product is open source and we read its repository directly, so Open Source Surface carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from what the repository actually publishes — a security policy, a contribution guide, a release history, a code of conduct — read live from the provider rather than inferred from our own catalog pointers. This facet adds; nothing was taken away to make room for it. An open-source project is not excused from the commercial facets, because exemption would strip it of the points it does earn. If we have the wrong repository, or this product is not open source, say so on your provider repo and we will drop the facet rather than have you publish against it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 65 points between them, because both conditional facets apply and carry 35 points together. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 65% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):

MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Rate-Limit Signaling +7 pts — OpenAPI responses document X-RateLimit-* / RateLimit headers (verified), else a rate_limits artifact or RateLimits link (documented)
Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document
Delegated User Identity +6 pts — a served discovery document listing authorization_code in grant_types_supported (served), else an oauth2 authorizationCode flow or openIdConnect declared in an OpenAPI (documented)

Markets this provider is in provisional

The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.

Market	Position	Depth	Registered MCP server	Declares compatibility
LF Energy Projects and Members (grid, DER, EV charging open source)	undeclared	-	-	-

Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
