What Montel Group does

Montel Group is a Norwegian energy intelligence provider headquartered in Oslo that has operated in European energy markets for over 30 years, serving traders, analysts, portfolio managers, procurement managers, power producers, and consultants across utilities, exchanges, TSOs, and energy-intensive corporates. Its commercial customer base includes E.ON, Uniper, Centrica, Fortum, Norsk Hydro, Swissgrid, TenneT, EPEX Spot, Nord Pool, and Danske Commodities, indicating penetration across the European energy value chain.

The company operates a platform-plus-modules architecture built on four specialized platforms — Montel Markets (real-time prices and news), EnAppSys (intraday trading), Energy Quantified (cleaned and forecasted European power data), and Syspower (high-resolution short-term forecasts with 40-year scenario modeling) — all brought together under the unified Montel brand since The Riverside Company's investment and add-on acquisitions in 2024 (Energy Brainpool, Qwatt) and earlier (EnAppSys, 2023). The technology stack covers 30+ years of historical price and fundamentals data across power, gas, carbon, and commodities across 14+ European gas hubs, with delivery through Web API, Excel Feeder, and Python integrations, plus specialized tools including Qwatt (PPA benchmarking), Price[it] (hedging and forward curves), and Montel Match (a marketplace for Guarantees of Origin). A multi-language newsroom delivers reporting in 11 languages.

Revenue is generated primarily through enterprise subscriptions to platforms and data feeds, supplemented by professional advisory and consulting services (including the integrated Energy Brainpool consultancy), event and training revenue through Montel Academy (conferences, courses, webinars anchored by the Nordic Energy Day flagship), and marketplace transactions. Go-to-market combines enterprise inside-sales with product-led free-trial onboarding, and is heavily supported by event-driven community engagement across European energy professionals.
