MELBOURNE, Australia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hansen Technologies (ASX:HSN) is pleased to announce an expansion of its partnership with longstanding customer Fortum. As part of the agreement, Fortum, a European energy company with activities in more than 40 countries, will use Hansen Trade to cover regulating power market (mFRR) and aFRR operations across its core assets in both Sweden and Finland, as well the ability to extend use for its Uniper assets in the Nordic region.
With cloud-based automated trading providing the best way forward for energy and utility businesses, this solution will enable Fortum to automate regulating power and aFRR bidding, and to streamline day-to-day trading operations. With the increasing adoption of Hansen Trade within Nordic markets, Fortum is the newest entity to deploy a state-of-the-art solution that is able to implement zero-touch automation to replace costly, manual intervention. Run as a cloud-based SaaS solution, Hansen Trade fully meets the flexibility and scalability demands of the complexities of the energy trading market.
Baard Eilertsen, Head of Markets and Dispatch, Fortum, commented: “A major consideration in the expansion of Fortum’s business is the assurance – backed by a strong track record of service excellence – provided to us by our trusted partners. With more than a decade of exceptional delivery and with an impetus to automate our operations, the decision to further deepen our relationship with Hansen by onboarding the Hansen Trade solution was a relatively easy one.”
