TAUTRA Energia provides daily analysis of market behaviour in the Spanish electricity spot market, including price trends, renewable energy forecasts, and technical management by Red Eléctrica de España.
This expertise enables TAUTRA to forecast prices and assess risks, forming the basis for robust trading strategies across the day-ahead, intraday, and continuous markets. In addition to its own trading, TAUTRA provides representation and optimisation services for other companies in the electricity sector, ensuring fast and effective communication and operational excellence on behalf of third parties.
For TAUTRA, there were two significant challenges. First, competing efficiently with other market participants was difficult due to the inability to fully leverage XBID opportunities and a reliance on manual operations. Second, there was a lack of an updated, forward-looking view before the day-ahead market session. According to Álvaro Monterde Ortega, TAUTRA’s Co-Founder, this was limiting the precision of their daily spot market strategies.
Álvaro explains: “We were not able to compete efficiently with other market participants because we couldn’t fully leverage XBID opportunities in an optimal way, and the way we operated was mostly manual. We also lacked an updated and forward-looking view prior to the day-ahead market session, which meant our daily strategy was not as precise as it could have been.”
To address these challenges, TAUTRA adopted a combination of Volue Intraday AlgoTrader and Volue Data & Forecasts with Short-term Price Forecasting and Fundamentals & Market Data applications. Volue Intraday AlgoTrader is a software solution designed for automated trading in power markets. It comes equipped with ready-to-use algorithmic strategies and offers extensive options for customisation and control, enabling users to tailor trading logic to their specific needs. This flexibility allows market participants to optimise execution and react quickly to changing conditions without manual intervention.
Volue Data & Forecasts is available as both software and API, providing real-time access to fundamental market data, reliable forecasts, and signal recommendations. Through its API, Volue integrates seamlessly into existing workflows, delivering actionable intelligence for short-term and long-term decision-making. By combining accurate data with predictive analytics, Short-term price forecasting and Fundamentals & Market Data, traders are empowered to anticipate market movements and refine strategies with confidence.
Together, these applications have not only improved execution accuracy but also increased the profitability of XBID transactions and enabled a highly automated operation, reducing the need for constant manual monitoring. The ability to customise strategies and leverage powerful API integration has allowed TAUTRA to operate unattended and focus on strategic growth.
Since implementing Volue’s solutions, TAUTRA has experienced significant improvements in operational performance and automation, resulting in reduced workload and increased efficiency. The company has expanded its team and geographical reach, now operating in additional European markets, proving that Volue has become a trusted partner, supporting TAUTRA’s ambitions to become a leading market participant across Europe.
Álvaro concludes: “Working with Volue has shown us that we can rely on a trusted partner across any European markets we choose to operate in, whether from the perspective of Intraday AlgoTrader or Data & Forecasts. This support aligns perfectly with our growth aspirations, and our commitment to increasing customer savings by optimising strategies more effectively."
