Where we trade

Your assets don't have to rely on one revenue stream.

Energy markets move constantly. The highest-value opportunity today may look very different tomorrow. Joulen's trading and optimisation capabilities assess available markets alongside asset availability, operational constraints and existing commitments, allowing us to direct flexible energy towards the best available opportunity.

  • Wholesale

    Capture opportunities from movements in energy prices by buying, selling and positioning flexible assets when market conditions create value.

  • Balancing

    Participate in balancing markets and respond to the changing requirements of the electricity system.

  • Ancillary

    Unlock additional revenue through ancillary market opportunities.

  • Stacked revenues

    Don't rely on a single market. Our optimisation approach considers multiple revenue opportunities to determine the best combination for your assets and portfolio.

Trading expertise

Markets move fast. Your trading strategy needs to move faster.

  • Algorithmic bidding

    Continuously identify and respond to market opportunities through automated bidding across eligible markets.

  • Trade desk execution

    Our experienced trading team provides market oversight, strategic decision-making and execution expertise.

  • Portfolio optimisation

    Balance market opportunities against asset availability, operating constraints and commercial objectives.

The value of flexible energy comes from knowing when, where and how to trade it.

Joulen combines market access, algorithmic bidding, optimisation and expert trade desk execution to turn flexible energy assets into revenue, from individual homes and commercial sites to aggregated portfolios.

Whether you're installing batteries, managing an energy portfolio or developing large-scale storage, we give you the market access and trading capability to capture more value.
