Vattenfall is the fifth largest electricity producer and the largest producer of heat in Europe. The company’s largest energy trading floor is located in Amsterdam. “The energy market has grown explosively in the Netherlands through liberalization, and it has become more commercial and more professional. There are many new players in the market and communication requirements have therefore changed,” explained Floris van der Meulen, Application consultant in the Energy Trade and Wholesale department at Vattenfall / Nuon. “Axway Gateway Interchange helps us to implement the new market model by providing a platform to exchange large volumes of data securely during peak trading periods just prior to Gate Closure. Traders are buying or selling gas or power on the trading floor, and the information exchanged is highly time-sensitive and confidential.”
