Why did Italy decide to run its national power exchange on Excelergy 
software? Because no other energy software platform could provide 
more of the scalability, flexibility and security required to power 
the millions of required transactions. Excelergy offers a secure, 
online portal that market participants can access from any web 
browser. A powerful Physical Scheduling and Settlement System 
simplifies billing and minimizes losses. If Excelergy's software can 
run the power exchange of an entire country, chances are, it can even 
handle your energy trading, scheduling and settlement requirements.
