The nature of electricity trading operations necessitates high-speed decision-making, increasing regulatory obligations, and the timely submission of accurate market notifications, all of which increase operational pressure. Monitoring instantaneous price movements in market segments such as the Intraday Market (IDM) and Day-Ahead Market (DAM), generating accurate forecasts, and integrating these forecasts with market obligations are critical for companies.
However, collecting power plant data and reporting it accurately to market systems is a process prone to manual processing errors and can expose trading companies to high balancing costs. Furthermore, in portfolio management, it has become essential to execute trading operations and market disclosures in a transparent, traceable, and fully compliant manner.
All these challenges lead to increased operational risks and a loss of competitiveness in the market for energy trading companies using manual and fragmented systems.
