Optimize Energy

About us

Energy solutions & risk management for power producers

We are more than a company: we are your energy partner. We define sound strategies and optimize your costs and revenues, because our clients’ success is our success.

Who we are

A team that comes from operating the power markets, working alongside owners and managers with merchant exposure.

Making renewable energy a solid business.

The market has become the biggest risk in a renewable project: prices cannibalised in the sunny hours, rising volatility and complexity that never stops growing. Our job is to keep that from holding any producer back:

We help you operate in the market

From the forecast to the sale of every MWh, every day.

We stabilise your revenue

Hedges, PPAs and batteries, to live well off volatility instead of suffering it.

We work with our own tools

The software we use is built by us and gets better every week with what we learn from the market.

The team

The partners who founded the firm and the people who run it. Behind them works a team of analysts, energy managers and developers who are in the markets every day.
