Shaping the Future of Energy Trading

World-Leading Power Traders on the Transmission Grid

What We Do

Risks and opportunities in the wholesale power markets are notoriously challenging to manage. This is where Solea Energy shines. For more than a decade, Solea traders have mastered continually changing grid conditions and multi-dimensional, highly granular, and difficult-to-predict drivers of congestion, turning their insights into profitable trading investments.

Short-Term Congestion Trading

Solea traders are experts in assessing the drivers of day-ahead and real-time nodal and zonal congestion in wholesale power markets and designing profitable proprietary short-term trading strategies to target these opportunities while carefully managing risk.

Our virtuals trading teams cover all US ISO markets and deploy a variety of trading approaches including fundamental, quantitative and hybrid methodologies.

FTR Trading

Successful trading of Financial Transmission Rights (FTR) requires a deep understanding of transmission networks, generation & storage, power demand and associated monthly and longer-term drivers of change across these components.

Solea FTR traders develop through experience an expert view of how fundamental drivers come together to drive persistent congestion patterns in US ISOs. Our Traders leverage their expertise while deploying an investment approach of high capital efficiency and strong risk-reward.

Compelling Platform

Solea offers traders an innovative, modern, flexible and fun working environment. We strive to offer top benefits to make Solea stand out relative to the competition. We are focused on building an honest, respectful and competitive culture. We encourage in-office or fully remote work based on trader preferences.

Solea’s leadership is distinguished by our collective decades of experience in power markets and congestion trading. We live and breathe the trading lifestyle, and if you do as well, you will feel ‘at home’ at Solea.

As an active market member and participant in all US ISO markets, Solea Energy provides our traders the requisite building blocks for successful commercial trading operations, including a comprehensive data management and modeling platform, ISO settlements and credit management, risk management, market monitoring, and position reporting through backend operations fully integrated with RTOs and real-time market data.

Solea approaches congestion trading from the viewpoint that besides being an intellectually challenging, rewarding and fun lifestyle, power trading serves an important role in ISO standard market design. By design, ISO markets encourage power trading in order to provide generation and load players the ability to manage their congestion exposure and to reinforce day-ahead vs. real-time price convergence. Our trading activities lead to increased market liquidity and lower market participant price uncertainty, leading to lower costs from more efficient day-ahead commitment and minimizing the spread between day-ahead and real-time prices. A more efficient day-ahead market lowers costs for everyone by improving grid operations and reducing transmission losses and unnecessary congestion.
