As the UK makes the move towards greater renewable power, we’re playing our part with our new asset trading IT system.


Having recently launched a new asset trading IT system, we’ve seen a boost in the trading performance across all of SEFE Marketing & Trading’s assets. Great news for clients who are looking to maximise their revenues, we’ve leveraged the demand for flexible gas and diesel peakers and batteries, using our experience and services to optimise trading for our partners.

Of the launch, Our Lead Power Originator, Toon Van de Plas says: “Flexible  peaking assets have a significant role to play in the move towards more renewable power in the UK, so SEFE Marketing & Trading is excited to partner up and provide its trading services.”

SEFE Marketing & Trading and the gas/diesel space

It’s perhaps unsurprising to see why. With over 70 sites – both large industrials with onsite flexible assets and energy funds with new-build recip engines – under our management, SEFE Marketing & Trading has positioned itself the market leader in the gas and diesel peaker space. Five years ago, we were the first to make inroads into this business area, quickly gaining ground through our unique offering, resulting in our counterparties achieving maximum trading profit.

We have a dedicated power-operation-trading and portfolio-management team for the assets under our management, too. Since we don’t own any of our own assets, there’s no conflict of interest, an approach that sets us apart from our competitors.
