Clearwater Analytics introduces CWAN Power and Gas, a new risk management capability within CWAN’s Beacon designed to replace “black box” systems in the energy trading industry.
With the expansion of renewable energy, increasing flows of liquefied natural gas, and changing macroeconomic conditions, electricity markets are becoming increasingly volatile, creating both risks and opportunities.
Many trading companies continue to be constrained by legacy platforms that limit model transparency, customization, and speed to market.
CWAN Power and Gas addresses these challenges by making all calculations fully transparent, configurable, and auditable in real-time, and supporting complex equipment such as structured power derivatives.
Renewable energy company CleanChoice Energy uses this solution to integrate data and analytics across physical assets, market activity, and customer outcomes.
Key features include real-time transparent modeling that provides full source code visibility to validate and customize calculations. Institutional level risk analysis. We offer custom metrics for VaR, credit risk, and complete audit trails for regulatory and internal validation. Flexible deployments enable standalone cloud-based use, integration with existing systems, or custom solutions built on Beacon’s open development foundation with scalable computing.
CWAN Power and Gas combines transparency, flexibility, and advanced analytics to enable energy trading companies to deploy complex strategies more efficiently, reduce dependence on legacy systems, and improve risk management in dynamic power and gas markets.
“The energy transition is driving one of the biggest changes to global energy markets since the invention of derivatives, but trading firms are constrained by risk systems built in a different era,” said Kirat Singh, president of risk and alternative assets at Clearwater Analytics. “While our competitors offer black-box solutions that traders cannot validate or customize, we provide the transparent and controllable technology that organizations need to take advantage of this opportunity. When billions of dollars are at stake, traders need complete visibility into their risk calculations.”
Anthony Hoang, CTO of CleanChoice Energy, said: “CleanChoice is winning on two fronts: growing our solar power portfolio and growing our retail business. But our customers don’t see us as a separate business unit. CWAN’s Beacon provides the data foundation that allows us to see and operate as one integrated company that optimizes every decision from the solar farm to the electricity market to the customer’s bill.”
“Energy markets are too complex and volatile for risk management tied to old systems,” Singh added. “We have built a cutting-edge platform that allows companies to achieve institutional-scale performance while taking full control of their risk calculations. Our clients are launching entirely new trading strategies to better manage risk and generate alpha in an evolving energy landscape.”
