BritNed joins Supercharge at E-world energy & water 2026

We’re excited to announce that this year our long-term partner, BritNed will join us at our booth at E-world Energy & Water in Essen, taking place February 10–12, 2026. Together, we’ll showcase Empire, our modern, fully integrated platform for capacity allocation and nominations, designed to deliver unmatched performance, reliability, and convenience for energy market participants.

If you’ll be attending the event and want to explore Empire’s capabilities and other innovative solutions we created for our energy clients, or learn how such complex platforms are built from the ground up, come visit us at our booth. 

A long-term partnership shaping industry standards

Operating an interconnector is an increasingly complex task in the dynamic electricity market landscape, and the software supporting it must evolve and adapt accordingly. What began as a product modernisation initiative has developed into a close, long-term partnership focused on delivering a future-proof allocation and nomination platform including 24/7 support and operations.

The project combined BritNed’s deep operational interconnector expertise with Supercharge’s technical and product knowledge, as well as its experience delivering large-scale system integration projects in highly regulated environments.

How Empire revolutionised energy trading

The Empire platform delivers measurable impact for all market participants across BritNed’s operations. 

• From fragmentation to one unified platform: Empire replaced multiple disconnected legacy systems with a single platform that centralises auctions, nominations, and energy flow management for interconnector operations.
  
  
• Reducing curtailment and financial risk: Real-time control over allocations and nominations helps BritNed operators minimise imbalances, reduce curtailment losses, and lower financial exposure, setting Empire apart in the European interconnector market.
  
  
• Improved efficiency and decision-making: Automated workflows and real-time data dashboards reduce complexity and manual effort, enabling faster and more accurate operational and commercial decisions.
  
  
• Built for reliability with 24/7 support: The platform is designed for high availability and operational resilience and no downtime deployments, supported by continuous monitoring and 24/7 support to ensure uninterrupted interconnector operations.
  
  
• A flexible platform for market innovation: Empire allows BritNed to adapt offerings as market needs evolve, supporting innovations such as the world’s first Buy Now Auction and the release of spare capacity during maintenance or outages.
  
  
• Regulatory compliant and cyber secure by design: Already within the creation of the platform blueprints, BritNed and Supercharge ensured automated regulatory compliance with REMIT, GDPR, NIS2 and Transparency regulations to meet all relevant energy sector needs in these fields by design. 

In addition to its significant operational impact, Empire was recognized as “Innovation of the Year” at the 2024 Industry Energy Eagle Awards.
