From Chaos to Consensus: Evolving Static Term Sheets to Dynamic Deals

Posted on May 6, 2026 by - Blog

Emma Marjollet, Customer Success Manager, Market Development

The clean energy industry has long been haunted by the “Bilateral Abyss”. For years, developers, hedge providers, and corporate buyers have navigated this space through fragmented emails, unverified spreadsheets, and “handshake” deals that lack public price signals. When market dynamics shift faster than a 12-year contract can be drafted, the old way of doing business isn’t just “complicated”—it’s a financial risk.

At REsurety, we’ve brought the offline “as-generated” power market online with CleanTrade—the industry’s first transaction platform built to institutional, regulated standards.

By moving procurement & risk management into a SaaS environment, we aren’t just changing where deals happen; we’re changing how fast they move. Here is how CleanTrade’s Term Negotiation and Contracting Module are collapsing the distance between a “maybe” and a finalized deal.

Cutting Through the Noise with Streamlined Term Negotiation

The journey toward a signed agreement often stalls before it even begins because benchmarking “fair value” is nearly impossible without available data. CleanTrade solves this through the price transparency and liquidity offered in Market Depth, allowing participants to broadcast intent and discover real-time pricing without an immediate binding obligation.

Whether you are a seller marketing an offer or a buyer running a RFQ, the platform allows you to engage with counterparties on term sheet negotiations ensuring there aren’t uncrossable spreads on key items early in conversations with counterparties. 

Anonymity & security: Sellers can market projects while masking sensitive details, revealing their identity only after they choose to counter or accept a proposal.

Early viability: Centralizes view of critical files, including Interconnection Agreements and Environmental Site Assessments (ESA), to provide a real-time health check of project maturity.

The ‘non-binding’ advantage: Accepting terms within the Transactions tab acts as a non-binding digital term sheet. It signals mutual interest and alignment on commercial fundamentals before engaging legal teams.

All trading activity is consolidated on the Buyer and Seller Dashboard, which act as a command center and make it easy to track multiple negotiations through a single view. 

The Transactions workflow enables the first step towards reaching alignment on key commercial terms. This means that both parties acknowledge that they’ve reached a non-binding term sheet, and agree to move forward with negotiating the full terms and conditions of the agreement.

The End-to-End Workflow of the Contracting Module

Once the commercial “handshake” is digitized, the Contracting Module takes over to alleviate the traditional headaches of legal redlining. This expedites time-to-value, collapsing a 12-month manual process into a high-velocity digital transaction.

Standardized starting points: CleanTrade provides “down-the-middle” form documents drafted by top law firms, ensuring you aren’t starting from scratch.

Real-time collaboration: The module acts as a shared workspace where authorized traders and legal counsel can make direct edits, track changes, and pass the “virtual pen” back and forth.

Automated compliance: CleanTrade is built to swap execution facility (SEF) standards, which means we make it easy to recreate any transaction through our auditable trail.  Furthermore, CleanTrade handles automated Dodd-Frank reporting to the CFTC, keeping your transactions compliant without the administrative burden.

The Result: Evaluate Opportunities & Negotiate Transactions with Confidence

By integrating data-driven insights with a regulated order book, CleanTrade ensures that every stakeholder—from the CFO, to Corporate Counsel, to the Sustainability Lead—can benchmark value and negotiate with confidence on every screen. We aren’t just making PPA transactions “easier”; we are providing the digital infrastructure necessary to evolve from static spreadsheets and to meet the demands of the market today.

The clean energy community is moving fast. We can’t wait to show you even more of CleanTrade and how it can be game changing for your business. Any questions in the meantime? Email [email protected].

Beyond the Bilateral Abyss: Bringing the Offline “As-Generated” Power Market Online.

Posted on March 20, 2026 by - Blog

Gabby Visconti, Customer Success Manager, CleanTrade

“Complicated.”

“Slow.”

“How do I source a good project?”

“Where can I find the right offtakers for my project?”

“Market dynamics shift way faster than a 10-year deal structure could allow. How do I make a PPA work for me?”

At REsurety, we work with companies grappling with these questions on a daily basis. 

On top of these logistical questions, recognizing the signals from the noise in the energy market has never been harder: with a structural squeeze in the power market creating explosive demand against the backdrop of an aging grid and an ever-growing queue of projects waiting to connect – it’s hard to make decisions confidently. Clean energy has never needed more optionality when it comes to trading capabilities, and so many clean energy stakeholders are stuck in the past. Without a federally regulated platform, stakeholders are navigating uncharted waters via bilateral negotiations. These “handshake” deals lack a public price signal, making it nearly impossible for CFOs to benchmark “fair value.”

But now, the real-time data needed to make these decisions is available in an accessible, SaaS format via CleanTrade.This article breaks down what stakeholders on the CleanTrade platform can expect – whether you’re a seller, a buyer, or an investor. We demystify what it means to join the CleanTrade platform – which just surpassed $30 billion in notional value – and the value of bringing clean energy procurement online for the industry. We provide a sneak peek of the tool so you can see for yourself.

The Seller Experience: Turning Project Chaos into Market Opportunity

For developers, the transition from a “new build” or “operational” project to a bankable contract is often hindered by a mountain of tedious, unverified data. CleanTrade acts as a sophisticated filter, turning over 30-60 distinct field inputs—from technology specs and ISO interconnection points to EPC agreements and energy studies—into a structured “Project Passport.”

Dynamic Market Signaling: Sellers can instantly broadcast “Active” offers to the Market Depth view, reaching all qualified buyers simultaneously while maintaining strategic anonymity.

Structured Document Repository: Centralizes view of critical files, including Interconnection Agreements and Environmental Site Assessments (ESA), to provide a real-time health check of project maturity.

Strategy Iteration: Allows sellers to copy and edit offers in real-time to test different price points or tenors against current buyer appetite.

The Buyer Experience: Targeted Procurement at Scale

For Corporates and Utilities, the Buyer Dashboard replaces the “waiting game” with a proactive RFQ engine. Buyers define specific needs—filtering by ISO, technology, and settlement point—and manage their portfolio from a single landing page.

Position Management: A centralized hub to manage active bids and trade history without the need to re-key critical position data.

Standardized Market Depth: Eliminates “apples-to-oranges” comparisons by providing transparent visibility into seller offers that are standardized and verified.

Seller Interest View: Delivers a curated view of offer records that precisely match the buyer’s specific RFQ criteria, providing vital competitive intelligence.

The Path from Signal to Signature: Why Indicative Posts Matter

The journey on CleanTrade begins with an Indicative Post, providing a flexible bridge between market discovery and final execution. This allows participants to signal bona fide intent and gain real-time price discovery without an immediate binding obligation.

Budgeting & Exposure: Use indicative posts to signal “fair value” and align internal budgets with current market realities while gaining exposure and direct access to a global network of counterparties.

Structured Chat: Once a match is found, participants use a digital record to lock in final variables like capacity and price.

Institutional Velocity: Anonymity is preserved until terms are refined, and automated notifications ensure the “back-and-forth” that used to take weeks is resolved in minutes.

By centralizing complex information and fulfilling federal regulatory obligations within a modern SaaS environment, CleanTrade replaces the friction of legacy bilateral negotiations with institutional-grade efficiency—effectively turning market chaos into fundamental value and collapsing the traditional 12-month “manual marathon” into a high-velocity digital transaction.
