Recent advancements in software are enabling forward-buying and enhanced trading of fuel and electricity, which are essential as the energy market grows more complex and data-driven. One major development is the rise of comprehensive Energy Trading and Risk Management (ETRM) systems. These platforms integrate tools for forward purchasing, risk management, and compliance, allowing users to lock in fuel prices or electricity rates ahead of time. There are a few companies that have created platforms that facilitate multi-commodity trading, including gas, power, and CO2, with real-time position tracking and automated deal workflows, which help traders manage future trades more effectively in volatile markets. Such a technology could be adapted by Yiufi as a third-party company.
Moreover, AI-driven forecasting and optimization software, such as PCI’s integrated suite, supports forward-buying decisions by providing insights into future price trends and renewable generation forecasts. These platforms offer short- to long-term forecasts and allow users to create custom trading strategies based on predictive analytics for demand and pricing across various energy markets. The API-friendly architecture of such systems allows seamless integration with other trading tools, making them highly adaptable to individual business needs.
