David Garrido, Product Manager, discusses the impact of integrating Terre and Terciaria markets
The integration of new energy markets expands trading capabilities and enhances profitability for Iberian market participants
The recent integration of the Terre and Terciaria markets marks a significant step forward in the evolution of energy trading across the Iberian Peninsula. We spoke with David Garrido, Product Manager of Bluence Trading, to understand the strategic and technological impact of this development.
“By incorporating Terre and Terciaria, our platform now allows clients to operate seamlessly across multiple energy markets from a single interface,” Garrido explains. “This not only broadens trading opportunities but also enables more agile and profitable management of energy assets.”
One of the main technical challenges was adapting to different market offer granularities, as Terre and Terciaria operate on a quarter-hourly basis, unlike the hourly schedule of previous markets. Overcoming this required the development of a robust connector to handle bid submissions and communication with system operators effectively.
The result is a streamlined workflow that reduces operational risk and increases responsiveness to market changes. This is especially beneficial for technologies with flexible energy profiles, such as biomass and cogeneration.
Looking ahead, Garrido highlights plans to complete the integration of all domestic markets, enhance simulation and backtesting tools, and explore opportunities for international expansion.
This advancement reinforces the company’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions that meet the evolving demands of Iberian energy trading.
