Streamlining Capacity Allocation for a Smarter Energy Market

Revolutionizing European Power Market Operations with JAO

Unlocking Smarter Cross-Border Trading with JAO Integration

Empowering energy traders in cross-border power markets, JAO integration transforms complex auction allocations into actionable trades. As Europe’s central body for allocating transmission rights, JAO runs the auctions and publishes results through its eCat platform, where market participants bid for Physical and Financial Transmission Rights. By automating the extraction of these rights from eCat and updating volumes with curtailment data, the solution provides precise visibility and control over positions. Combined with Value Creed’s Endur expertise, it ensures accurate trade valuation, P&L calculation, and timely settlement, helping traders forecast returns and optimize capacity across European corridors.

Navigating Cross-Border Power Trading Challenges

Traders face complexity handling JAO auctions and allocations, impacting efficiency and control. Key challenges include:

Manual Trade Entry and Updates

Difficulty Tracking Allocations

Complex
Cross-Corridor Calculation

PnL Forecasting and Capacity Planning

Increased Reconciliation Risk

Optimize Implementation with Value Creed

Manual trade entry often caused errors and inefficiencies. JAO integration automates trade creation, updates, and settlement, improving accuracy and speed. It leverages JAO’s auction results and curtailment data to generate and update trades seamlessly. By linking with e-CAT and Market Utility APIs, it reduces manual effort and risk. A key differentiator is its ability to convert transmission rights allocations into trades, enabling precise PnL calculations and reliable forecasting.

A JAO account with certificates enables a secure connection. Within Endur, a Connex-based web service continuously retrieves auction data in XML, processed via an Openlink JVS task into trade data. Trades are created in the application and updated in the database for further processing.

Endur converts PTR and FTR allocations into structured, fully valued trades. FTRs are modeled as financial swaps driven by regional price spreads, while PTRs are captured as physical capacity rights tied to grid corridors. The system calculates spreads, valuation, and PnL automatically, updates volumes when curtailments are published, and applies correct discounting for accuracy. This automation ensures trades reflect real-time positions, supports forecasting, and prepares settlement data ahead of the Auctioneer.

Authentication uses a programmatically requested code. A Connex web service connects with Market Utility and JAO for curtailment details. SOAP requests fetch curtailment data, deconstructed and stored in a table. Trade volumes are amended by corridor matches for accurate updates.
