OUR TECHNOLOGY
& OUR TEAM:

The Power
Behind Optimax

At Optimax Energy, our strength lies in the talent and innovation of our software developers, who craft the cutting-edge tools and applications that power our automated, intelligent trading desk.

 

Utilizing the latest programming languages like Java (from Java11 to Java21), Kotlin, and frameworks like Spring, React, and Docker, we develop a versatile ecosystem of microservices.

Our team thrives on pushing boundaries, exploring machine learning, AI, and advanced web and desktop applications. We embrace new technologies, from REST APIs to AMQP message brokers, and continuously refine our software to revolutionize energy trading and provide an exceptional user experience.

We are proud of our achievements, but we are always open to new ideas and innovations.

Since not all market participants are able to create optimal electricity forecasts and act on them promptly, we offer this as a service for municipal utilities, renewable energy operators, and grid operators.

We provide our clients with 24/7 trading services and ensure market access 365 days a year.

UNDERSTANDING THE ENERGY MARKET:

How It Works and Optimax's Vital Role

01

THE PAST AND THE PRESENT

In the past, power supply was predictable and locally organized, with prices set once a day.

 

Today, consumer behavior has drastically changed, with significantly more players in the energy market and an increasing number of prosumers—those who both consume and produce energy.

 

As Europe transitions to renewable energy, traditional power supplies are diminishing, leading to increased market volatility due to unpredictable weather conditions.

 

Additionally, there are currently insufficient storage solutions to keep the grid balanced by storing excess electricity.

02

CAUSE AND CONSEQUENCES

However, industry and end consumers rely on a stable, continuous power flow, which can only be achieved if the amount of electricity produced and fed into the grid always matches consumption.

 

This new complexity in the energy market exceeds human management capabilities and requires advanced data management and real-time decision support.

03

OPTIMAX PLAYS A KEY ROLE IN THE ENERGY MARKET

Optimax Energy invests in smart minds to develop automated trading systems and complex forecasting models.

 

Our systems use precise forecasts to make real-time trading and pricing decisions across Europe, allowing us to detect potential imbalances early and correct them on the European intraday markets.

 

This minimizes fluctuations in electricity production, ensures a constant and reliable power flow, and addresses concerns about renewable energy.

 

Thus, Optimax Energy is an IT and technology company and a successful trading firm.

COOPERATIONS: How we shape the future

Optimax Energy works enthusiastically with universities, associations and young talents. We offer practical projects and attach great importance to an inspiring exchange that benefits both sides.

Together with our partners, we help the next generation to develop their potential and shape the education of the future. Whether through research projects, workshops or internships - we look forward to supporting the talents of tomorrow.
