TECHNOLOGY & TRADING:
What we do
We specialize in automated 24/7 electricity trading across European energy markets, helping electricity suppliers balance excess or insufficient electricity at short notice.
Our trading activities focus on the spot market, which is divided into day-ahead trading (where electricity is traded for the following day) and intraday trading (where adjustments are made within the same day to respond to real-time fluctuations).
As renewable energy expands, so do the challenges of market volatility and efficiency. Using machine learning and statistical models, we analyse large amounts of market data and execute data-driven trading decisions in real time.
With a deep understanding of market dynamics and automation, we continuously refine our trading systems to stay competitive in an ever-changing energy landscape and support the European energy transition.
