Our story
European Commodities was founded in 2017, backed by a family group that has been active in the energy sector since 2010. Together with our sister companies—an energy supplier and an energy IT company—we combine trading expertise, technology, and real operational experience.
Based in Deerlijk, Belgium, we have grown into a reliable partner for companies active in increasingly complex European power markets.
As a Balance Responsible Party (BRP), we take responsibility for keeping portfolios balanced in real time across several European countries. This role is becoming more critical as energy systems evolve: renewables introduce variability, curtailment becomes a daily reality, batteries and flexible assets enter the market, and price signals move faster than ever.
We support our clients with accurate load and generation forecasting, portfolio steering, and continuous balancing—integrating weather data, asset behavior, market signals, and operational constraints. Whether it’s managing flexibility, optimizing battery usage, or minimizing imbalance costs, we help clients stay in control in a volatile system.

Trust
We believe transparency is the basis of long-term relationships. European Commodities acts as a reliable partner you can count on.
Our traders, analysts, data scientists, and software developers work side by side. This close collaboration allows us to turn complex data into actionable insights and reliable execution on spot and intraday markets.
We build and operate our own software, forecasting models, and back-office platforms—designed specifically for the realities of short-term power trading and portfolio management. From data ingestion and modeling to trading, risk control, and settlement, everything is built with one goal: clear decisions and strong execution in real time.
Solvability is essential to build trust among market participants in the energy sector. As a Balance Responsible Party, European Commodities aims to be fully transparent about its financial strength.
To support this, we make our latest financial statements available for download, giving partners clear insight into the stability that underpins our long‑term commitments.
