BroadPeak Partners (BroadPeak), the post trade foundation for energy and commodity trading firms, today announced the upcoming launch of its Power Market Surveillance solution, initially focused on Financial Transmission Right (FTR) congestion monitoring.
Power trading is becoming more challenging for compliance teams. Electricity demand is climbing, renewable output is growing, storage is reshaping when and where the grid strains, and congestion patterns are shifting across US power markets. At the same time, firms face greater scrutiny of activity in both physical and financial power markets.
Monitoring FTR activity is a challenge when FTR auction data and virtual transaction data sit in separate systems. Without bringing the two together, it is hard to assess positions across nodes and identify potential concentration risk, forfeiture exposure or trading patterns that warrant further investigation.
BroadPeak’s FTR congestion monitoring capability brings FTR auction awards and virtual transaction data together across seven major US ISOs, giving compliance teams a consolidated view of FTR and virtual positions.
No other surveillance solution does this in one place. BroadPeak enables clients to detect concentration risk, visualize activity that led to forfeiture and identify potential manipulation across North American power markets.
“We are seeing greater regulatory scrutiny of FTR and virtual trading across US power markets. For compliance teams, the challenge is that this data often sits in separate systems, with no way to correlate a firm’s own positions with physical and scheduling behavior. We are building FTR Congestion Monitoring to close the gap between what compliance teams must oversee and what they are practically able to observe.” comments Aakash Kakkad, Senior Solutions Engineer, BroadPeak Partners.
