Electricity is the most time-granular commodity there is, priced and settled by the hour or half-hour, shaped by profile, and delivered on a grid that must balance in real time. Gravitas handles physical and financial power on one model, from capture to cash.
Power desks juggle granular settlement periods, load and generation profiles, and grid nomination alongside financial hedges. When these live in separate systems, positions never quite agree. Gravitas captures physical and financial power trades on one governed model, so a shaped block, a peak/off-peak spread, and its financial hedge all net into a single, trusted position.
Real-time valuation marks the book against granular forward curves, risk runs on the live position, and scheduling handles nomination to the grid, all reconciled by construction.

How a power trade flows, capture to cash

FAQ
Power questions
Does Gravitas handle granular settlement intervals?
Yes. Power is valued and settled at the granularity the market uses, hourly or half-hourly, with shaped profiles carried through valuation, risk, and settlement.
Can we net physical and financial power positions?
Yes. Physical blocks and financial hedges are captured on one model, so they net into a single position that valuation and risk read from.
Does it support grid nomination?
Yes. Scheduling handles nomination to the grid or ISO, with load/generation profiles and imbalance tracking.
