Energy trading complexities are intensifying for utilities and IPPs as renewable integration drives market volatility. Many organizations struggle with fragmented systems that can’t keep pace with evolving market demands, creating inefficiencies and hampering decision-making. Ørsted, a leading offshore wind developer targeting 27 GW of renewable capacity by 2027, faced a costly failure with a highly customized energy trading and risk management (ETRM) solution.
This webinar reveals how Ørsted recovered by partnering with PCI Energy Solutions and AWS to implement a modern ETRM platform that streamlines workflows and provides agility in today’s dynamic energy markets. Speakers from Ørsted, PCI Energy Solutions, and AWS share insights from this journey:
- Why over-customization can doom ETRM implementations and what approach works instead
- The importance of strong data foundations and accessible APIs
- How a unified, cloud-native ETRM platform delivers efficiency and competitive advantages
