Not adapted from US markets. Not generic BI with energy charts. Built from the ground up for European power (EPEX, Nord Pool), TTF/NBP gas, and EU ETS carbon — where clean spreads, cross-border flows, and REMIT II compliance are native, not afterthoughts.
Early adopters lock 50% pricing. Direct product team access. 6 cities: London, Geneva, Amsterdam, Düsseldorf, Oslo, Paris.

"My traders maintain private spreadsheets because our platform doesn't understand TSO-specific reserve products or cross-venue fragmentation."
Constraint mgmt auto-repricing, aFRR/mFRR technical constraints, cross-venue order book fragmentation detection.
Missed French nuclear outage, €2M loss when FR-DE spread inverted.
"I spend 70% on ETL pipelines: AGSI+ CSV downloads, manual TTF-NBP basis calcs, JKM arb modeling in Excel."
AGSI+ auto-updating, TTF/NBP/PSV with currency conversion, JKM-TTF arb indicator, no more CSV reconciliation.
Head of gas asked for storage-vs-forward analysis at 08:30, delivered at 11:00.
"REMIT II expanded scope Oct 2024. My team of 3 is drowning. ACER levied €123M in fines last year."
Every analytical interaction timestamped, REMIT-ready audit trail, cross-venue lifecycle tracking, information boundary detection.
ACER inquiry about suspicious patterns, 6 weeks + €150K legal fees for false positive.

“Eliminated the 2-hour morning reconciliation. My traders start analyzing, not cleaning data.”
“First platform that understands aFRR and mFRR are different products with different technical constraints, not interchangeable 'reserve prices'.”
“Caught a TSO constraint management event 14 minutes before official announcement because we were monitoring operational portals directly.”
“REMIT II means I need to see every trade, every position, every analytical input. Voltstack's audit trail turned compliance from a cost center into a control function.”
Europe enters winter 2026/27 on its lowest storage base since 2022, just as the EU relaxes its 90% fill mandate toward ~80% and shuts two Russian supply taps — pipeline short-term ban on 17 June, LNG fully out by 31 December. The summer–winter TTF spread prices only a ~€5/MWh premium for that. The mandate relaxation was read one-sidedly as bearish; the bullish-winter half is the edge. We are short the calm: long Winter-26/27, short Summer-26, with convex upside via winter call spreads.
Hydro, nuclear and wind do not fail independently — blocking weather patterns suppress them together and amplify demand, leaving gas as the sole backstop. In 2022 the combined nuclear + hydro shortfall hit 185 TWh (7% of EU generation) and power averaged €230/MWh. A Nature Energy study finds low spring inflows quadruple drought probability; correlated residual loads intensify renewable droughts +40%. Standard models price the product of the marginals, not the joint event — and that lag is the alpha.
Europe’s data centre load roughly doubles to 36 GW by 2030 (S&P / Ember). The IEA finds 40% of incremental DC demand will be met by gas and coal. CRU shows firmed renewables cost 57–267% more than gas at 99.999% uptime. Bottom-up: 5–15 bcm/year of price-inelastic gas burn that no major research house is explicitly modelling. Trade expressions across TTF curve, EUA, clean spark, and Voltstack widget builds.
25 targets across 6 Gulf states — 13 US-affiliated energy complexes struck. ~4.2 mbpd refining capacity at risk. The IRGC is not just blocking Hormuz; it is eliminating every bypass route. Ceasefire fraying on day one. Scenario modelling for TTF, Brent, JKM, and European power desks with probability-weighted trade expressions.
No spam. We trade energy, not data. EU data residency available.
