smaller energy companies to consider an ETRM solution for

current solution can support those activities. Many need significantly closer integration between their ETRM solution, execution venues and System Operators. In short, now is the to
critically re-evaluate your ETRM software and if necessary, rapidly deploy something that can support the business through
these changes.
