Descriptiontext

HVB Markets (legal entity: High Voltage Brokers) is an Australian wholesale energy and environmental products broker founded in 2010 and headquartered at Level 13, 20 Bridge Street, Sydney, with regional offices in Melbourne and Brisbane. The firm intermediates trades on behalf of Australian energy producers, retailers, and financial intermediaries (including investment banks and PE/hedge funds) across wholesale electricity derivatives (swaps and swaptions) and a broad spectrum of renewable energy and environmental certificates, including LGCs, STCs, NSW/VIC/QLD energy efficiency certificates (ESCs, VEECs, GECs), ACCUs, EUAs and CERs. Beyond pure intermediation, HVB also brokers structured off-take arrangements, Power Purchase Agreements, long-term LGC deals, and weather derivatives.

The underlying technology is a relationship-based brokerage platform rather than an automated trading venue: HVB's principal capability is the broker team's market knowledge and a subscription data service that distributes independent end-of-day pricing for electricity derivatives and environmental products via email plus an online/phone database, with tiered modules so clients pay only for the data they consume. No apps, APIs, or proprietary automated trading systems are disclosed.

HVB's revenue model combines (i) transaction fees earned on intermediated electricity and environmental certificate trades with (ii) recurring monthly subscription fees for its forwarded pricing data service. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct: HVB's brokers maintain named relationships (e.g., Ben Crowe, Desk Head Renewables; Fergus Atkinson, Renewables) with enterprise counterparties across the Australian energy value chain, supported by a corporate website and email/newsletter content marketing. Customer segments span energy producers, energy retailers, financial intermediaries, and corporate energy buyers pursuing sustainability objectives.
