EDM & ETRMs:
Square Pegs and Round Holes
The energy trading landscape is evolving rapidly, increasing the need for both Energy Trading and Risk Management (ETRM) systems and Energy Data Management (EDM) solutions. This paper explores:
- The historical development of European energy markets and how deregulation and decarbonisation have influenced trading models.
- Why traditional ETRMs struggle with modern flexibility, complex portfolios, and high-granularity data.
- The role of EDMs in managing granular data, reducing complexity, and supporting real-time decision-making.
- How modular solutions combining ETRM and EDM systems can enhance operational efficiency and reduce risks.
- Real-world case studies demonstrating how an integrated approach improves trading performance and scalability.
Whether you are a supplier, trader, or asset owner, this paper provides key insights into optimising your trading infrastructure to navigate the increasingly complex energy market.
