Montel chief executive Tom Nyblin added: “EnAppSys will help us enhance Montel’s ability to support businesses in reducing emissions. The company has deep knowledge of renewable generation characteristics and potential grid constraints and is able to help enterprises balance energy demand and supply more efficiently. Given the strong fluctuation of the supply of renewable energy, EnAppSys’ short-term trading data is critical in its efficient allocation, and therefore in enabling the green transition at the lowest cost to consumers.”
