Energy Trading and Risk Management (ETRM) Software Solution

Energy Trading and Risk Management (ETRM) software enables organizations to manage the full life cycle of energy trades—from deal capture and contract management to risk analytics, settlement, and compliance. Whether you're navigating volatile markets, expanding into renewables, or moving beyond fragmented and siloed spreadsheets, data, and workflows, our integrated ETRM solution with real-time data, automation, and advanced modeling enables you to make faster, optimal decisions that protect margins and capital as well as reduce exposures to counterparty and credit risks – all while supporting sustainability goals.

Other areas where our ETRM solution can help: energy procurement, bitcoin miner, data center, or industrial/heavy energy consumers.

Hitachi Energy’s ETRM solution offers a full range of advanced capabilities. You can choose the capabilities, such as advanced risk management, accounting compliance, and carbon accounting, that matter most to your operations, and we’ll scale and implement them accordingly.
