Multinational commodity trading company Mercuria Energy Group Ltd is one of the world's largest independent energy traders and asset operators. While the company is active in a wide spectrum of global energy markets ranging from crude oil and refined petroleum products, natural gas (including LNG), and power, to agricultural products, it has established itself as a leading player in renewable investments, with more than fifty percent of new investments dedicated to the energy transition.
Mercuria has selected Energy Exemplar’s energy simulation software PLEXOS to inform their investment decisions in green energy projects in Central and Western European (CWE) countries as well as expanding to Eastern Europe.
“Something that set PLEXOS apart was that, in comparison with other modelling solutions, it is able to go into great detail and optimization can be easily fine-tuned.
It is also flexible, which with a market that changes as fast as the trading market, allows us to be agile. We can modify and configure models and datasets to our requirements, giving us deep insights into the market”
- Patrick Sallee, Trading Analytics at Mercuria
With PLEXOS regional datasets, Mercuria’s Trading analytics team can begin modelling immediately, with projects starting from long term capacity planning, i.e., deciding where to make long term strategic investments, before moving on to other horizons including short and mid-trading for different use cases.
“We are delighted to be able to support Mercuria with their trading activities and investment decisions by providing our energy insights platform PLEXOS to inform improved decision making in these times of high uncertainty. This partnership will allow Energy Exemplar to further expand our capabilities and best practices in the energy and commodity trading industry”
- Michael Schneider, Senior Vice President and Head of EMEA at Energy Exemplar
