“We have more than 15 years of experience in renewable energy trading in Romania and, especially in today’s global context where sustainability is no longer a choice but a responsibility, Monsson reaffirms its commitment to the energy transition, namely by facilitating access to renewable energy.

Within the group, we continue to invest in renewable energy, both solar and wind. We are also investing in electricity storage capacities.

We already have storage capacities in operation since 2024. At the moment, we have the first hybrid project in Romania, which consists of a wind power generation unit, a photovoltaic unit, and storage capacity. Obviously, this gives us greater flexibility when it comes to delivering baseload energy,” said Laura Tănase, CFO of Monsson Trading, at the Green Energy Conference organized by The Diplomat-Bucharest.

Key statements:

• “We also aim to be a bridge between the producer, the financier, and of course, the end consumer.”
• “We have the expertise to structure customized options for PPA contracts, whether physical delivery, virtual delivery when we talk about a financial hedge, but also hybrid PPA solutions for producers with co-located storage facilities, tolling options for stand-alone storage capacities, as well as market access or asset management solutions for producers who want to take on more risk and exposure to the market. Our priority is to act as an energy off-taker while managing imbalance costs.”
• “We have this experience, especially in a market where imbalances in recent years have been significant and had a major impact on our procurement costs as suppliers. Particularly in the context of price caps and regulated prices, these costs could not be passed on. It was crucial to manage them in such a way that we could keep costs predictable for the end consumer. At present, we manage a capacity of 400 MW of installed renewable power from various sources, and our target is to reach around 1000 MW by the end of 2027.”
• “Since 2020, we have been operating a virtual power plant, both technically and as an aggregator, which has helped us better manage power production and imbalances.”
• “We operate a 24/7 intraday desk, staffed by human operators, not just bots. This is important to mention. It’s a dynamic team working on this intraday desk alongside our energy dispatch center, which helps us manage renewable energy closer to the moment of production, as well as consumption portfolios closer to the moment of demand. This allows us to maintain fair prices both for producers and end consumers. It is not always easy, and there are many challenges involved.”
• “At the same time, to manage renewable energy and consumption for end users, we have developed an internal energy management data system. This platform, developed by the Monsson Group, integrates multiple mathematical models, forecasting models, and artificial intelligence to ensure electricity stability.”
• “What can we do for the end consumer, what is our role, and what value can we bring? Clearly, when talking about green energy, we supply renewable power with guarantees of origin. By doing this, we ensure price predictability for industrial consumers, traceability of electricity, and the provision of origin guarantees.”
• “We can also support industrial consumers who want to integrate renewable energy generation—solar, wind, or storage—into their own consumption. We can play both a consulting role and an active role in managing and integrating these solutions.”
• “We can also act as consultants and long-term strategic partners, which is what we aim for, to support the decarbonization plans of consumers. In addition, we can play an active role in reporting and compliance, if required, whether related to sustainability directives or reporting obligations to regulators.”
