Previse Systems announced today that Ørsted has selected Previse Systems as the supplier of its new Energy Trading Management (ETM) system.

Ørsted was looking for a cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution – a highly standardized system to replace the core deal capture and deal lifecycle capabilities of the legacy on-premise ETRM solution. Ørsted was seeking an ETM solution with speedy time-to-market for standard products. It was key for Ørsted that the selected solution would be both lightweight and highly interoperable with Ørsted’s business and IT landscape.

As Ørsted’s new ETM solution, Previse Coral will be utilized for deal capture, deal-lifecycle workflow and back-office processes for gas and power trading supporting a high degree of automation. While power and gas are the primary traded commodities, Ørsted also intends to use the system for the hedging of various metals and fuels within Ørsted’s business.

The scope of the implementation of Previse Coral will cover Ørsted’s main trading activities in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark, as well as in some adjacent markets. Besides standard instruments, the solution may be expanded to also cover PPA structures, swing contracts, storages and options.

In the delivery of Ørsted’s Future ETM, Previse Systems will collaborate closely with partners such as Lead Consult, who will supply several elements of the overall solution as Apps and also add expertise to the implementation team.

Asbjørn Hansen, Managing Director at Previse Systems, said:

“We are extremely excited to sign up one of the world’s most significant players in renewable energy! Bringing on yet another large energy trading company onto our platform underlines the strength of our product, our technology and our concepts, driven by the competence and dedication of our team and our partners.

We see Ørsted as a global leader in renewable energy. We believe that our expanding partnership will further strengthen our platform and our capabilities in the support of renewable power traders, as well as companies with complex cross-commodity portfolios.

We look forward to supporting Ørsted on their journey from their old on-premise legacy solution to a fully cloud-based and automated ETRM platform designed for the future.”
