METLEN continues to actively drive technological innovation and digital transformation in the energy sector, reinforcing its strategic focus on advanced digital solutions. Within this framework, the company played a pivotal role in the successful integration of Volue’s PowerBot trading solution with the ETSS Spot Electricity Platform of the Hellenic Energy Exchange (HEnEx). As the Nominated Electricity Market Operator (NEMO) for the Greek bidding zone, HEnEx is responsible for the operation of the Greek Day-Ahead and Intraday electricity markets and participates in European market coupling mechanisms, including the Single Day-Ahead Coupling (SDAC) and the Single Intraday Coupling (SIDC).
Specifically, METLEN provided extensive support to Volue throughout the pre-launch testing phase and will continue its collaboration as a customer, leveraging the platform’s advanced capabilities to further optimize its trading operations, following the successful connection of PowerBot to HEnEx. The move will see Volue bring the scalable execution platform, designed for 24/7 trading in European short-term power markets, to customers across Greece, enhancing access to automated and efficient trading solutions.
John Giannakopoulos, Chief Executive Director of the Integrated Utility Pillar of METLEN, stated: “METLEN consistently supports and collaborates with companies that drive technological innovation and operational excellence in the energy sector, values that are fully aligned with Volue’s vision and capabilities.
This collaboration underscores METLEN’s commitment to embracing advanced digital tools and smart 24/7 trading solutions that enhance market efficiency and transparency. We look forward to continuing supporting Volue’s further growth in the Greek and European energy markets.”
Felipe Lanza, VP Trading Software, comments: “This move reflects our broader strategy to ensure full market coverage across European intraday markets for all customer use cases. Our algorithms are highly adaptable and configurable to virtually any market condition, and traders can even implement their own strategies using our flexible framework. Drawing on our established presence in similarly mature and liquid markets, we are confident that our solution will enable local participants and traders to benefit from greater automation and enhanced profitability. Our close collaboration with METLEN has been instrumental in achieving this successful integration, and we look forward to building on this partnership over the coming years. Now more than ever, the market and regulatory landscape impose more complex operational demands and necessitates quicker decision-making, underscoring the importance of having fast, compliant, and time-tested systems readily available. We are pleased to bring this capability to customers across South-East Europe via Volue PowerBot”.
By engaging with innovative technology partners like Volue, METLEN continues to strengthen its position as a leader in the Greek and European energy markets, enhancing operational efficiency, market responsiveness, and the ability to deliver advanced, data-driven services to its customers.
