60-day contract-to-deployment timeline
exemplifies Stem’s software-centric strategy to maximize
profitability and drive scalable growth
Stem (NYSE: STEM) (“Stem” or the “Company”), a global leader in
artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled clean energy software and
services, today announced that Mercuria Energy Trading, a leading
global energy trader, has standardized on Stem’s PowerBidder™ Pro
to support bidding management and optimization strategies for a
second clean energy asset within the Electric Reliability Council
of Texas (ERCOT). Deployed fewer than 60 days after contracting,
the software’s industry-leading integration and configuration
capabilities enabled an accelerated timeline for Mercuria’s trading
teams to take control of the asset. This is the second Mercuria
asset supported by Stem’s PowerBidder Pro since Q3 2024,
representing success for Stem’s refined software and
services-centric strategy in driving predictable, scalable growth
and profitability for the Company.
“Mercuria holds extensive expertise in the energy market but
it’s imperative to have a technology partner to optimize this
knowledge against evolving market dynamics. Stem’s PowerBidder Pro
has effectively automated these complexities, allowing our traders
to focus on strategic opportunities to maximize returns," said Cody
Moore, Head of Gas and Power Trading at Mercuria. “PowerBidder
Pro’s extensive configurability and quick integration timeline
combined with the advanced automation capabilities have been
valuable this year and are a strong differentiator. We appreciate
Stem's strong partnership, technical product and market expertise,
and excellent customer service from contract execution to
operational support as Mercuria expands our clean energy asset
portfolio within ERCOT."
“Participants in today’s highly complex wholesale power markets
need trusted, proven partners with solutions that deliver high
levels of performance, flexibility, and control. Regardless of a
customer’s return objectives, risk appetite, and energy trading
capabilities, Stem’s PowerBidder Pro empowers them with fully
configurable strategies in automated or manual bidding mode,
accompanied by analytics and insights that inform future
decisions,” said Cedric Brehaut, Senior Vice President of Product
at Stem. “Stem is proud of the proven value we have already
delivered to Mercuria and of our growing partnership as a result.
We look forward to continuing profitable growth in ERCOT.”
By standardizing on PowerBidder Pro across its portfolio,
Mercuria expects to realize scaled benefits as its trading teams
gain access to intuitive dashboards that organize real-time
performance metrics, advanced forecasts and analytics, and
customizable configurations necessary for tailoring trading
strategies to each energy storage system’s constraints, contractual
obligations, and Mercuria’s unique risk management objectives in
response to volatile market conditions.
