Energy markets advisory
Clarity at the critical moment.
Hands-on advisory for short-term power traders and the teams building their trading systems.
What we do
Short-term power markets, made clearer.
Ropia takes its name from the Greek rhopē (ῥοπή): the turn of the scale, the moment the balance tips. In short-term power markets those moments come round every half hour.
Ropia Energy Advisory helps trading desks, and the developers who build for them, make sense of GB and European wholesale power markets and act with confidence when it matters. We work as an extension of your team: practical, plain-spoken and close to the detail.
