Who we are
We are a boutique advisory firm focused on electricity and natural gas markets. With 15+ years of hands-on market experience, we help companies make confident, financially sound decisions. Our advice is grounded in real market operations - we trade daily, manage portfolios, and work with system operators - so our guidance reflects what’s happening on the market right now, not theory.
What we do
Strategy & Pricing for Businesses
• Procurement strategy & tenders: Structure, run, and evaluate tenders; fixed vs. floating vs. hybrid strategies; contract timing.
• Fair pricing guidance: Benchmark supplier offers and negotiate transparent,
justifiable end-user prices.
• Hedging frameworks: Policy design, limits, triggers, and reporting aligned with your risk appetite and liquidity profile.
• Valuation of consumption/production profiles: Shape, seasonality, and intraday analysis to reveal true cost and revenue drivers.
Market Operations & Trading
• Daily market execution: DAM & IDM trading with imbalance optimization for balancing groups.
• Portfolio management: BESS, CCGT, solar, hydro, and consumer portfolios - including assets with state subsidies and full compliance management.
• Balancing group setup & operations: From registration and collateral through to scheduling and settlements; integration with internal systems.
BESS (Battery Energy Storage Systems) Advisory
• Investment case & valuation: Revenue stack modeling (arbitrage, ancillary services, capacity, imbalance optimization) and scenario testing.
• Grid connection & fees: Connection pathway, grid fee valuation and optimization, and regulatory considerations.
• Operations & optimization: Dispatch strategy, degradation economics, co-optimization with on-site consumption/production.
• IT & billing setup: End-to-end implementation of metering, data flow, billing, and operational processes.

End-to-End Process Design
We design and document market-ready processes across your organization, then help you run them:

• Billing & Treasury: Invoice cycles, cash-flow models, collateral, netting, and payment controls.

• Systems: SAP and adjacent IT integration (data, reporting, and controls).
How we reduce your risk (and cost)

• Cash-flow clarity: Purpose-built models to forecast, stress-test, and monitor liquidity under price and volume volatility.
