Energy
Trading.
Generating electricity is only half the equation — the other half is capturing the most revenue from every megawatt-hour produced. Helium Power Energy's energy trading desk manages dispatch strategy, market participation, and PPA structuring across day-ahead, intraday, forward, and ancillary service markets in Europe and internationally, maximising lifetime asset value for every portfolio we manage.
Every Market.
Every Opportunity.
Day-Ahead & Intraday Trading
Active participation in EPEX SPOT, Nord Pool, MIBEL, and GME day-ahead auctions. Intraday continuous trading to capture price spikes and optimise against our own forecast updates in real time. Algorithms and human traders operate in tandem.
Forward & Futures Markets
Structured hedging programmes using ICE, EEX, and Nasdaq Power forwards. We help asset owners lock in revenue certainty for 1–10 year periods while preserving upside exposure for assets with strong marginal cost profiles.
Capacity Market & Ancillary Services
Active participation in UK CM T-1 and T-4 auctions, STOR, BM, FFR, DCR, and EFR contracts. For hydro and PSH assets, these revenue stacks are often the most structurally attractive component of total income.
PPA Structuring & Negotiation
Long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) structured with utilities, industrials, and corporate offtakers seeking renewable or low-carbon supply. We advise on pricing, shape risk, curtailment provisions, and credit structures.
Stacking Revenue
Across All Markets.
The most sophisticated asset owners don't rely on a single revenue stream. Our trading desk simultaneously optimises across wholesale energy, intraday, capacity market, and ancillary service contracts — activating the highest LCOE-adjusted revenue for each asset's specific capabilities.

Where We Trade.
Strategy. Execution.
Accountability.
Asset & Market Analysis
Detailed review of asset characteristics (ramp rate, head range, storage volume, minimum stable generation) to design a bespoke trading strategy aligned with the asset's physical capabilities.
Revenue Optimisation Modelling
Forward curve modelling, ancillary service value assessment, and scenario analysis across market price environments to identify the optimal revenue stack for the asset.
Contract Execution
Active scheduling submissions to TSO/DNO, BM unit participation, intraday position adjustments, and daily settlement confirmation — all managed by our trading team.
Performance Reporting
Monthly trading performance reports detailing captured price vs. benchmark, ancillary service income, capacity market proceeds, and trailing revenue vs. budget.
Trading With
Conviction.
Unlike pure financial trading firms, our desk is built on a foundation of deep technical knowledge of the actual assets — understanding physical constraints, operational costs, and risk profiles from the inside out. This produces better dispatch decisions and, ultimately, superior revenue capture.
