Solar
We optimize solar generation through precise forecasting and real-time market participation. By trading solar output across day-ahead and intraday markets, we maximize revenue, reduce curtailment, and balance intermittency caused by weather variability—ensuring stable and efficient integration of solar power into the grid.
Wind
Our wind energy trading strategy leverages advanced wind forecasting and continuous market optimization. Active intraday adjustments allow us to respond to changing wind conditions, minimize imbalance costs, and extract maximum value from wind assets while supporting grid stability.
Thermal
Thermal assets provide critical flexibility and reliability in energy markets. We manage thermal generation with cost-efficient dispatch strategies, fuel optimization, and market-driven scheduling, ensuring dependable supply during peak demand and supporting system balance when renewables fluctuate.
Hydro
Hydropower offers unmatched flexibility for energy trading. We strategically dispatch hydro resources to capture price volatility, support balancing markets, and provide fast-response capacity, while optimizing water resource management and long-term asset sustainability.
