The electricity market in the US is highly regulated and based on assumptions from the coal-fired power plant era. However, with the rise of solar and wind energy, new ways of trading power have emerged. ElectronX is developing an exchange that enables electricity suppliers and consumers to access futures and options contracts, capturing intraday volatility in pricing. This platform aims to lower financial barriers and allow smaller companies to participate in the electricity market. By leveraging precise financial products, renewable assets can see better return profiles and faster payback periods. ElectronX has secured $10 million in funding from investors, including Systemiq Capital, Equinor Ventures, Shell Ventures, and Innovation Endeavors, to support its mission.
