BB Energy selects Orchestrade for expansion into power and gas trading

Orchestrade announces that BB Energy has selected the Orchestrade ETRM platform to support their strategic entry into the global power and gas trading market.

Orchestrade was the clear choice to support our risk management requirements. The platform provides exactly the flexibility and scalability we need to support the next phase of our ambitious plans.”

— Christian Fallesen, Chief Operating Officer at BB Energy

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, October 10, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Orchestrade, a leading provider of Energy Trading and Risk Management (ETRM) solutions, today announced that BB Energy, a dynamic global independent energy trading company, has selected the Orchestrade platform to support their strategic entry into the global power and gas trading market.

The Orchestrade platform will serve as the core technology for BB Energy’s new dedicated power and gas trading function, enabling the company to effectively manage the complex financial and physical flows associated with its strategic expansion into lower-carbon and energy transition sectors across Europe, the Americas, and Asia.

As global energy markets converge and the transition toward renewables accelerates, many traditional physical oil traders are expanding into power and gas trading to diversify portfolios and capture new growth opportunities. Power and gas markets are rapid, data-intensive, and highly volatile—requiring real-time visibility, flexible risk management, and advanced analytics across multiple commodities. However, legacy trading systems are ill-equipped to handle the complexity, granularity, and speed of modern power and gas markets. To overcome these challenges, forward looking firms are selecting the Orchestrade ETRM.

Christian Fallesen, Chief Operating Officer at BB Energy, commented on the decision: "As energy commodity markets continue to rapidly evolve, BB Energy’s entry into power and gas trading marks a key milestone in our strategy to diversify our trading portfolio and accelerate growth in energy transition sectors. After a rigorous procurement process, Orchestrade was the clear choice to support our risk management requirements. The platform provides exactly the flexibility and scalability we need to support the next phase of our ambitious plans.”
Orchestrade’s solution is designed to handle the complex requirements of power and natural gas markets, including cross-border trading, capacity scheduling, complex derivatives, and regulatory reporting, all within a single, unified system.

"We are proud to partner with BB Energy as they make this significant strategic move. Their decision to launch their new global power and gas desks on the Orchestrade platform is a testament to the system's flexibility and state-of-the-art capabilities. We look forward to supporting BB Energy’s ambition to accelerate growth” said Jonathan Gane, Chief Revenue Officer of Orchestrade.

The deployment of the Orchestrade ETRM system ensures that BB Energy’s new trading teams have the infrastructure required for real-time risk visibility and efficient, consolidated operations as they aim to significantly increase trading profit from their new power and gas venture over the next two years.
