Why we've invested in Enspired
Trend
Volatility in electricity intraday trading is increasing due to the growing share of renewable generation, while at the same time an increasing proportion of fluctuating generation is privately owned without its own trading organization. The intraday market is becoming increasingly important for the integration of renewables. The trend on the financial markets is towards fully automated algo-trading.
Problem
Only the enterprise cooperation are currently active on the intraday market; it is not yet clear which assets and business models will provide the flexibility; however, it is clear that all those who can provide flexibility must monetize their assets on the intraday trading market.
Solution
Enspired offers asset owners AI-supported, fully automated algo-trading including market access to EPEX, Nordpool, e.g. as Trading-as-a-Service.
