Our client profile

The client is a leading Spanish energy company operating in the Iberian market with a dual role as BRP for both generation and consumption. Its portfolio includes 300 MW of operational renewable assets, a pipeline exceeding 1 GW, and more than 8 TWh of wholesale demand supplied annually.

Our challenge

Managing such a diversified and high-volume portfolio across OMIE and IPEX presents major operational challenges. The client needed to accelerate bidding processes, reduce manual workload, and ensure consistent accuracy in market submissions.
