Energy trading software for utilities: build, buy or partner
Utilities and municipal Stadtwerke are asked by their generation customers for direct marketing, by regulators for balancing accuracy and by their boards for a flexibility product — usually with the same trading team that already runs the retail book. Building an in-house forecasting and trading stack takes years; buying software still leaves the 24/7 operation with you. A white label VPP moves the whole chain to a partner while the customer relationship, the brand and the margin stay with you.
SAMAWATT is that partner: Swiss, independent, owning no generation, and built to run inside another company's brand and balancing group.
How white label energy trading works
Your customers sign with you; SAMAWATT runs forecasting, trading, balancing and reporting behind your portal. The split of balancing responsibility, exchange membership and settlement is configured per market.
- 1Configure the brand and the balancing groupPortal, reports and contracts carry your brand; trades settle in your balancing group or in SAMAWATT's, per market.
- 2Onboard the portfolioGeneration and storage assets are connected through standard telemetry and metering interfaces; country rules are already built in.
- 3Forecast, trade and balanceSAMAWATT forecasts at asset level, trades day-ahead and intraday and manages imbalance across the combined portfolio.
- 4Report to your customersAsset-level performance, imbalance and fee reporting is delivered under your brand, auditable down to each 15-minute bid.
Utility renewable portfolio optimisation and balancing group management
Running generation, storage and consumption in one balancing group lets deviations cancel before they reach the imbalance price. Portfolio optimisation adds the trading margin on top: negative-price avoidance for solar, intraday correction for wind, revenue stacking for batteries, and a flexibility product for commercial consumers. Utilities keep the direct-marketing fee and the balancing margin; SAMAWATT charges a platform and performance fee.
Because SAMAWATT trades on its own account alongside your portfolio, our capital faces the same prices as yours; we never own generation that competes with your customers.
SAMAWATT VPP software for utilities and DSOs
SAMAWATT's VPP software covers 18 European markets with the national mechanisms built in — Redispatch 2.0 in Germany, the Mécanisme d'ajustement in France, UVAM in Italy — and is already operated by utilities under their own brand. The same optimization engine serves retail-facing flexibility products and wholesale-facing direct marketing, with regulatory-ready documentation and an audit trail for every decision.
