The world of energy trading is changing.

Embrace it with a platform that unlocks the power of smart contracts.

A world in flux

Energy markets are decarbonizing and decentralizing; new product spaces are opening-up; new participants are entering the market, and new commodities are being traded. To succeed in this environment, businesses need to have the flexibility to move into new spaces fast, and to scale up quickly where they meet with success.

We’re building an ecosystem of solutions to help companies in the face of a range of emerging challenges:

Engage

Improve collaboration

Leverage Traconn’s shared ledger design to create new digital channels for external engagement, allowing you to securely share and manage contracts directly with your counterparts.

Decentralization means energy markets are moving closer to the realities of physical infrastructure. Contracts increasingly need to reflect specifics of delivery locations, or infrastructure capabilities.

As the number of complex and bespoke contracts increases, the operational considerations become very demanding. Operational management of an expanding collection of structured contracts carries increasing cost and increasing risk.

Operational management requires clear and timely communication with internal departments and external counterparties. Businesses therefore need to have visibility of when and what to communicate, as well as a means to automate this.

As a company’s renewables and non-standard business grows, risk assessment and monitoring become more challenging due to the variety and bespoke nature of each contract.

For all these reasons, scaling business in these spaces is costly and carries a high level of operational risk.

Our journey

Traconn is a wholly owned subsidiary of Uniper, born out of an internal innovation initiative.

We began back in 2017 working to solve our own challenges around ensuring scalable management of structured contracts. Over numerous iterations since then we’ve refined our design, taking the learnings of each iteration forward to strengthen the next.
