A Tailored Solution

PLEXOS Insights for Traders leverages our fully calibrated European Dataset and our in-house platform that cleans, scrapes and transforms the latest available market information. Our models capture unit-level fundamentals for Central and Western Europe and utilize machine learning to model external markets. A key innovation is the integration of Flow-Based Market Coupling (FBMC) to model the crucial interconnector flows: this alone is a breakthrough, improving simulation results by 10-15%.

Our first Insights for Traders products – focused on supporting short-term European power trading decisions – have been launched at a time when developing a fundamental view of European power markets has never been more difficult. Each individual bidding zone has its own unique generation stack while also being increasingly dependent on the fundamentals of its neighbors due to growing interconnectivity - Great Britain (GB) has five interconnectors, with more on the way. This means that to obtain a specific country's view, it's necessary to model all neighboring countries, as market movements quickly create a ripple effect across Europe. We manage the entire end-to-end workflow so that you can focus on crafting your tailor made trading strategies using our model.
