Know which revenue streams your desk can safely access
Most mid-market desks trade day-ahead only, leaving intraday, balancing mechanism, and ancillary revenue untouched. The gap is £2-4M per year on 100 MW. A115 builds the operational assurance infrastructure to close it.
Built by the team behind Shell, Centrica, bp, Limejump, and Gazprom trading operations.
The revenue you're not capturing
Full-stack trading (DA, intraday, BM, ancillary) requires operations that can withstand audit scrutiny, satisfy lender covenants, and meet REMIT II and EMIR reporting deadlines. Without that infrastructure, the revenue stays on the table.
The problem is rarely the trading capability. It's the operational gap: P&L that doesn't reconcile, compliance evidence that's assembled manually, and no independent way to verify what your optimiser is actually capturing.
Under REMIT II, a typical renewables or BESS desk using algorithmic strategies now generates dozens to hundreds of reportable events daily. Manual compliance with spreadsheets is operationally unworkable at scale. And the cost of the status quo adds up fast: a Trayport licence alone runs €50k+/year, 1-3 ops and compliance hires cost £150-300k/year, and an enterprise ETRM starts at £100k+. For a 20-500 MW desk, there has been nothing in between. Until now.
How we close the gap
Each step builds on the last. Most firms start with the Power Desk Score.
Power Desk Score
A free self-assessment that maps your desk's current operational capability against the full revenue stack. Takes under 10 minutes. You get a clear picture of which revenue streams are accessible today, which require operational changes, and where the largest gaps sit.
Take the Power Desk Score →Operational Leakage Assessment
A forensic review of where your desk is losing revenue through operational gaps: settlement errors, unoptimised dispatch, compliance overhead that consumes trader time, or optimiser underperformance you can't currently measure. Delivered in three weeks with a quantified gap report and prioritised roadmap. Guaranteed to identify at least 10x the assessment cost in recoverable value.
Readiness Programme
For desks bringing trading in-house or stepping up from DA-only to full-stack. We build the operational infrastructure (explainable P&L, REMIT II and EMIR compliance evidence, position reconciliation, and settlement assurance) so your operations satisfy lenders, auditors, and regulators from day one. Replaces months of internal review and 1-3 ops/compliance hires.
Desk OS, Managed Close, and Compliance
The operational platform that runs after go-live. Desk OS provides the daily infrastructure: position management, P&L reconciliation, and dispatch optimisation. Managed Close handles end-of-day and end-of-month settlement assurance. The Compliance Evidence Pack keeps REMIT II and EMIR reporting current without adding headcount.
We recommend Qualia as the ETRM layer and build the operational assurance infrastructure around it. We're not replacing your trade capture system. We're making sure everything downstream of it actually works.

Asset owners going in-house
You want to capture DA, intraday, BM, and ancillary revenue directly, but you need operations that lenders and regulators will trust. Readiness Programme gets you audit-ready in 90 days.
Asset owners who outsource
Your optimiser manages the asset, but you have no independent view of what they're capturing vs. what's available. Managed Close and the Compliance Evidence Pack give you that visibility.
Investors and funds
You need to know whether a portfolio company's trading operation is real before you commit capital. The Power Desk Score and operational due diligence give you the answer. The market is real: 77 GWh of EU battery storage by end 2025, 4 GW operational in the UK with a 40 GW pipeline, and 300-500+ addressable desks across Europe by 2028.
