Senior Consultant power market mechanism solutions

Joining Artelys means, above all, becoming part of a stimulating environment, made up of passionate experts and giving yourself the opportunity to take part in projects addressing various complex issues, notably addressing the major challenges of our time.

• The TERRE (Trans European Replacement Reserves Exchange) and MARI (Manually Activated Reserves Initiative) projects aims developing an IT platform for the market clearing of services exchanged between the European producers and transmission systems operators. TERRE et MARI are critical systems, whose importance will only grow with increased penetration of intermittent renewable energy sources and phase-out of traditional thermal production generation. Artelys, together with its partners, is responsible for providing the platform’s market clearing engine allowing to solve large and complex optimization problems and meet very high performance and availability requirements.

• The pan-European market of Guarantees of Origin (GO) launched by EPEX SPOT and EEX in 2022 is the first secondary GO market. It does not imply primary emissions by States but only exchanges of previously emitted certificates. Thanks to this innovative auction, the participants can put bids both on standard and specific offers. This innovative and pan-European auction is designed so that market participants can use it to their benefits, with the hope that the market will grow as we go, shifting away from national support mechanisms.  Artelys experts contributed to the design of the auction and its optimization engine, which they subsequently developed.
