GETEC ENERGIE GmbH is one of Germany’s ten largest direct marketers, with a marketed capacity of 4.3 GW. Every day, the company manages the risks of increasing system imbalance and price volatility in short-term trading, consequences of the growth of intermittent renewable energy sources.
To optimize trading results for its wind and solar portfolio, GETEC ENERGIE chose Dexter Energy’s Power Generation Forecast, one of the three most accurate on the market.
Throughout the onboarding, Adrienn Hegedüs, Meteorologist, and her colleagues were supported by dedicated Dexter team members, who were readily available to answer any questions. Customer support exceeded their expectations, and Adrienn explains why:
“The Dexter team is passionate about their work and knowledgeable about the trading world. They understand what we need in a forecast and what is happening in the market.”
An example of Dexter’s proactive approach to the evolving needs of short-term energy traders is the introduction of an icing forecast. Icing can be responsible for up to 25% of yearly balancING costs. Thus, including these events in a wind power forecast offers a significant advantage when planning a market position.
Another strength demonstrated by Dexter was the thorough data checks. If historical production data contains inaccurate or unrepresentative measurements, the forecast will not make the most precise predictions. To ensure accuracy, our team balances automated processes and human involvement. Adrienn values this approach:
“Dexter Energy takes data quality seriously and encourages its customers to do the same. This is essential to success but not a given among forecast vendors.”
“Dexter’s modern, self-service API solution, the associated clear documentation, and the close collaboration between our business and IT departments during onboarding contributed to a successful project launch in the new year 2024. “
Sharing a commitment to a 100% carbon-free power system, Dexter Energy and GETEC ENERGIE are proud of and excited about their partnership’s positive impact on the energy transition.
