North American power markets are evolving fast. More renewables, new ISO rules, and growing data volumes make market participation harder to manage. Every team, from traders to the back office, needs workflows that keep up without adding complexity.
In this blog:
Energy market operations in North America are highly fragmented. Each Independent System Operator (ISO) operates with its own rules, deadlines, and systems. For front-, mid-, and back-office teams, that creates daily challenges like aligning trades with delivery, managing renewable commitments, and reconciling settlements accurately and on time. Many teams still rely on spreadsheets, manual workflows, or disconnected tools to address these challenges, leading to more disputes, compliance risk, and delayed cash flow.
Adapt2 is built to address this complexity. It unifies ISO bidding, trading, tagging, compliance, and settlement into one connected product suite. The result is a traceable, auditable, and scalable workflow that helps you manage market participation with confidence, even as your operations grow into new ISOs. Whether you're a trader, scheduler, asset manager, risk analyst, or part of the settlement team, Adapt2 is designed to support the way you work. Adapt2 helps energy organizations move faster and operate confidently across multiple ISOs.
Wholesale energy market participation involves more than submitting bids. It requires reconciling transactions, generating accurate invoices, and producing audit-ready compliance reports, often across multiple ISOs. When those steps are handled in isolation, errors increase and billing cycles slow down.
Adapt2 Bid-to-Bill connects the full bid-to-settlement lifecycle in a single workflow. You can:
Traders gain live visibility, mid-office analysts align activity with finance, and back-office teams close billing cycles faster. Executives and operations leads gain a clear, unified view of how the business participates across markets.
Adapt2 Bid-to-Bill helps you shorten billing cycles, reduce reconciliation errors, and improve visibility across settlements.
In wholesale power markets, trade execution is only part of the equation- delivery must follow. When tagging and scheduling are handled manually or disconnected from trading workflows, mismatches occur. These discrepancies can delay settlements, increase compliance risk, and drain operational resources.
Adapt2 Trade-to-Tag connects front-office trades to delivery scheduling in one streamlined workflow. You can:
For traders and schedulers, this provides live visibility from trade to scheduled delivery. Asset managers gain alignment between contracted positions and nominated volumes. Risk teams see exposure data in real time. Compliance teams benefit from immutable logs that support regulatory and audit requirements.
Adapt2 Trade-to-Tag improves delivery coordination and helps reduce disputes.
As renewable portfolios grow, so do the operational demands. Managing Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), and compliance with Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) or voluntary frameworks often involves manual work and disconnected systems. This increases the risk of errors and slows down settlement and compliance.
Adapt2 Green brings REC and PPA management into one connected environment. You can:
REC managers get a single source of truth for retirements and allocations. Compliance teams rely on built-in audit logs. Finance teams accelerate settlement cycles.
Adapt2 Green helps reduce manual effort, improve data integrity, and scale renewable operations with confidence.
Effective market participation starts with strong planning. PLEXOS® equips you to model long-term strategies, test sensitivities across pricing, congestion, and dispatch, and explore complex market scenarios. But to operate with confidence, organizations also need a way to carry those strategies into daily workflows.
Adapt2 extends the value of your PLEXOS® planning by connecting modeled scenarios to day-to-day bidding, scheduling, and tagging. As part of the Energy Exemplar product portfolio, Adapt2 works alongside PLEXOS® to link strategic modeling with operational execution.
Together, PLEXOS® and Adapt2 help you model, plan, and operate across North America’s dynamic energy markets, without losing visibility or control.
North American energy markets are growing more complex. Renewables continue to expand, market rules evolve, and volumes increase. Without an integrated workflow, operations grow harder to manage and riskier to scale.
Adapt2 offers a path forward. By connecting bid, trade, delivery, compliance, renewable management, and settlement in one system, it helps you gain clarity across your market operations. That clarity supports faster decision-making, fewer disputes, and stronger financial performance.
