In case you missed it: Our Insights from ‘Navigating Volatility: The Shift Toward Transparency in the US PPA Market’

Posted on February 12, 2026 by - Blog

Navigating Volatility - recap of REsurety x S&P Webinar

by Emma Marjollet, Customer Success Manager, REsurety

Owen Glubiak (VP, Market Development, REsurety Markets) introduces CleanTrade, a CFTC-registered platform, at our February 5th collaborative webinar with S&P Global Energy.

The US clean energy market has reached a critical maturity point, with upwards of 350 GW of operational capacity. However, this growth is colliding with extreme price volatility and policy uncertainty. 

To meet this moment, S&P Global Energy Platts has partnered with REsurety to provide daily price assessments powered by CleanTrade transaction data, providing the real-time transparency necessary to navigate today’s market complexity.

We kicked things off with a webinar detailing how this can be transformative for the industry, where S&P Global Energy’s Associate Director of Price Reporting Annalisa Jeffries put it best: “In today’s volatile market, you can no longer ‘set it and forget it.’ Transparent, daily price signals are the only way for buyers and developers to accurately price risk amid shifting policy and congestion.” 

While corporate procurement continues to accelerate at a 30% CAGR, the industry is hampered by “pre-2000s” workflows – think fragmented emails, opaque pricing– that lead to capital slippage and nine-month deal cycles. The central takeaway from our discussion is clear: to sustain momentum, the industry must transition from manual deal-making to a more transparent, data-driven transaction infrastructure that meets the market where it is today.  

What we learned:

Policy Pressures & the ‘Construction Cliff’:

Shifting federal policies are fundamentally altering clean energy project economics. The OBBB (One Big Beautiful Bill) deadline of July 4, 2026, is a primary pressure point, requiring projects to commence physical construction to qualify for full tax credits. This “safe-harbor” race injects timing risk and forces developers to negotiate Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) after making major CAPEX decisions.

Surging Demand vs. Supply-Side Headwinds:

Massive demand from AI and data centers is reshaping PPA volumes, with hyperscalers leading multi-GW procurements. “In 2025, 80% of the corporate procurement in terms of volumes that were announced were actually from hyperscalers—in particular, the four largest hyperscalers,” noted Bruno Brunetti, Head of Renewable Revenue Streams at S&P Global Energy Horizons. Conversely, supply is hampered by transmission congestion and interconnection queues. While solar and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are surging, onshore wind outlooks have weakened due to local opposition and early tax credit sunsetting.

The Rising Cost of De-Risking:

PPA prices are trending upward across all ISOs. Developers are now factoring in a $2-3/MWh premium to comply with Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC) rules and new tariffs as they de-risk their supply chains. In active markets like ERCOT, solar as-generated hedge prices have seen a $10/MWh
year-over-year increase.

The Rise of Short-Term PPAs:

As more projects roll off their original contracts from the early 2010s era, many developers are left holding financial risk from merchant capacity. Combined with the surging demand from the buying community, 1-5 year PPAs for operational projects have become an increasingly effective tool.

Digital Trading, meet Renewables:

Developers, traders, and corporate buyers require a 21st century risk management tool to separate the ‘signal’ from the ‘noise’ to meet their goals. To support this, S&P Global Energy Platts has partnered with REsurety to provide daily price assessments powered by CleanTrade—the first and only CFTC-registered Swap Execution Facility (SEF) for as-generated clean energy. Additionally, this shift provides the real-time, verifiable data needed to move beyond the “Rolodex” era of trading.

It’s clear the clean energy market has reached a tipping point where speed must meet the scale, and CleanTrade by REsurety is the solution.

REsurety’s CleanTrade Platform Hits a Major Milestone: $16 Billion in Notional Value Ready to Transact

Posted on November 5, 2025 by - Blog

The clean energy market is ready for deals.

In just two months of operation since CFTC approval, CleanTrade has scaled rapidly, reaching a remarkable $16 billion in notional value ready to transact on the platform.

With accelerating deployment of clean energy in the near-term and an operating fleet that has just surpassed 300GW of installed capacity, the need for transaction infrastructure that enables price transparency, expands the deal pool for participants, and provides assurance through CFTC compliance has never been greater. 

A key driver of initial growth of activity on CleanTrade has been the demand from existing VPPA buyers to pursue budget certainty.  For companies that own VPPAs as part of their clean energy portfolios, they often hold the contract for 10 – 15 years and are locked into paying a set price for the energy as it is generated over the agreement’s lifetime.

During that period, however, the monthly settlement price fluctuates, creating volatility that can be a source of P&L headache. The lack of options for efficient and effective risk management in the short-term, through hedges or swaps, has forced owners to hold when they could be creating value from their VPPA portfolio.

With CleanTrade, clean energy buyers can now see the pricing available to them to achieve budget certainty – and have the ability to transact with confidence and speed.

The growth of CleanTrade makes it clear that the clean energy market wants a better way to get deals done: the industry has outgrown its opaque and relationship-based history, based on emailing spreadsheets or late-night conference calls.

CleanTrade streamlines this entire workflow, from sourcing bids and offers to evaluating transaction value and risk, executing transactions, reporting for Dodd-Frank compliance and managing post-transaction contract performance, all within a single, regulated platform. It’s designed to bring the same level of liquidity, transparency, and confidence to clean energy trading that traditional energy markets have long enjoyed through platforms like Intercontinental Exchange (ICE).

“CleanTrade’s rapid adoption and the $16 billion in notional value ready to transact in just 60 days underscore the urgent need and strong demand for a true transactional marketplace. By providing enhanced price transparency and liquidity, CleanTrade is poised to expand who can transact in clean energy markets, reduce transaction time, and accelerate the deployments of clean electricity capacity that the United States and global economy demand,” said Owen Glubiak, VP, Business Development for CleanTrade.

REsurety Receives CFTC Approval for First and Only Clean Energy Marketplace and Transaction Platform

Posted on September 3, 2025 by - Blog, Press

CleanTrade brings unprecedented transparency, liquidity, and end-to-end transaction workflow support to clean energy markets.

BOSTON, Mass. – Sep. 03, 2025 – REsurety, the leading provider of software, services, and marketplace solutions empowering the future of energy, today announced the regulatory approval of its clean energy transaction platform, CleanTrade, from the US federal Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). CleanTrade now provides the first and only compliant marketplace for financially-settled contracts for clean energy, often referred to as Virtual Power Purchase Agreements (VPPAs). Global food and agriculture company Cargill and leading independent energy and commodity group Mercuria, early adopters on Clean Trade, were matched to execute the first transaction on the platform.

Regulated transaction platforms, such as the Intercontinental Exchange, have been key drivers of transparency and liquidity in traditional energy markets for years, allowing market participants to procure, sell, and trade energy products such as natural gas, oil, and baseload power with speed and confidence. Now, with formal approval from the CFTC, CleanTrade unlocks these significant benefits for clean energy markets.

“Last year, more than 90% of new US generation capacity came from clean energy sources, but despite that explosive growth, clean energy markets have been deprived of the sophisticated toolkit that traditional thermal energy has long benefited from,” said REsurety CEO Lee Taylor. “With this CFTC approval, CleanTrade now fills that huge void in the energy markets.”

Historically, clean energy transactions have been supported by brokers and information service providers. But that process was opaque and illiquid, and transacting was cumbersome. As the industry has scaled and matured, its needs have outgrown those services. As an approved Swap Execution Facility (SEF), CleanTrade is the first and only marketplace and platform where organizations can fully transact. It provides full market transparency into transactable bids and offers for clean energy and enables end-to-end workflow support, from automated generation of compliant form transaction documents to Dodd-Frank reporting.

In addition to providing a marketplace for the SEF-enabled VPPA products, CleanTrade also provides much-needed transparency and liquidity for physical power purchase agreements and project-specific renewable energy certificates. CleanTrade users also benefit from the industry-leading financial and environmental analytics provided by REsurety’s CleanSight platform, providing best-in-class insight into project-specific capture rate and congestion risk exposures as well as the granular and rigorous environmental metrics increasingly demanded by leading clean energy buyers such as 24/7 carbon-free electricity advocates and the Emissions First Partnership.

Project metrics: Carbon and financial analysis via CleanSight for offers

“A transparent and liquid clean energy marketplace and transaction-ready platform like CleanTrade has been sorely needed in this sector for years, so I’m thrilled to see REsurety stepping up to lead the charge,” said Peter Freed, former director of energy strategy at Meta and now founding partner at Near Horizon Group and board member at REsurety Markets. “CleanTrade allows users to discover and capitalize on the 100-gigawatt corporate market of high-value VPPA contracts — and also allows clean energy buyers to manage the risk of contracts they’ve already signed.”

CleanTrade was purpose-built to serve the diverse spectrum of today’s clean energy market participants, from the buyers and sellers of long-term greenfield VPPAs to the owners of existing projects or contracts who are looking to actively manage their exposure to energy markets — whether for a month, a year, or a decade.

A New Marketplace to Power the New Energy Economy

Posted on September 9, 2025 by - Blog

From a bold idea to a CFTC-approved launch, CleanTrade is the marketplace clean energy has long deserved.

Authored by Lee Taylor, CEO, REsurety

Clean energy is powering a new era of economic growth but still relies on antiquated market infrastructure. We’re changing that today.

Following our approval by the CFTC to operate the first marketplace for clean energy, we are officially launching CleanTrade.

We are bringing a modern and transparent transaction platform to a space that has had to operate by email, phone calls, spreadsheets, and information services for far too long. No other company, tool, or service today comes close to offering the benefits that come with a truly centralized, regulated transactional marketplace.

This mission is personal. I grew up the son of a wildlife film producer and environmental reporter who impressed on me the need to make environmental problems my problem. I always believed that the biggest, most intractable environmental challenges could only be solved by harnessing the power of economics. The scale of the problem requires market-based solutions. This conviction is what led me to create REsurety. Our vision has always been to drive the transparency, liquidity, and impact of clean energy markets. CleanTrade is the next phase of that vision.

CleanTrade as a Milestone: Clean Energy Market Reaches Next Phase of Maturity

We’re not just digitizing legacy processes; we’re creating the fundamental market infrastructure needed to power the future of energy.

The clean energy market is massive – over $50 billion in transactions take place annually in the US alone. But this incredible scale still relies on antiquated market infrastructure. The transactions themselves are complex: a wind farm outside Dallas produces energy of a significantly different value than a wind farm outside Odessa. Each project’s intermittent generation has unique characteristics – a fact that has prevented the industry from benefiting from the revolutionary transparency and liquidity that the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) brought to traditional, dispatchable energy from sources like natural gas more than 20 years ago.

Other solutions have attempted to fill in the gaps with advisory, brokerage, and information services, but without access to a centralized marketplace, clean energy buyers, sellers, and traders waste time and money finding each other, agreeing on a fair price, and executing transactions.

We’ve built a solution tailor-made for the unique nature of clean energy assets. It’s where Virtual Power Purchase Agreements (vPPAs), physical Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), and project-specific Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) can be bought, sold, and traded in a transparent, liquid, and compliant platform.

REsurety as the End-to-End Partner to Our Customers

Our core business has always been about providing the data and analytics needed to understand and manage the unique risks of clean energy assets. CleanSight is the industry-leading platform for valuing and managing these assets and our consulting and transaction advisory services have helped countless clients navigate this complex landscape.

CleanTrade ties all of this together. We now provide an end-to-end solution for our clients, helping them develop their strategy, underwrite and execute transactions, and manage their portfolios with confidence.

Journey to the First Regulated Clean Energy Marketplace

Building a modern, regulated transaction platform from the ground up is not for the faint of heart. The single biggest hurdle we faced was earning the right to be registered as a Swap Execution Facility, or SEF, regulated by the CFTC. This registration is reserved for platforms that meet the highest standards of market integrity, transparency, and compliance.

We began this journey in the summer of 2021. The process has been rigorous, demanding, and incredibly detailed. After just over four years of work, the application that the CFTC ultimately accepted was 986 pages long – a testament to the level of diligence required to meet the CFTC’s high bar to operate a compliant marketplace. We are proud to have earned this registration, but more importantly, we’re excited by what it means for the market: to offer the clean energy industry the transparency, liquidity, and efficient transaction infrastructure that the future of our energy industry requires.

This milestone took a village. I want to personally thank the incredible REsurety team for their passion, dedication, and countless hours of hard work. Your talent and grit are what made this ambition a reality.

We also want to extend our deep gratitude to our collaborators, who believed in this vision and helped us bring it to life: Citi Commodities and Citi Strategic Investments, S2G, Haynes Boone, DLA Piper, Jones Day, Stoel Rives, and Eventus. And finally, a special thank you to the dedicated staff, Commissioners, and Chair at the CFTC for their diligence, expertise, and commitment to building fair and transparent markets for all.

Today is just the beginning. The launch of CleanTrade is a giant leap forward, but it is one part of a much larger, long-term vision. At REsurety, we are committed to building the information, tools, and transaction infrastructure the clean energy market deserves, and we are excited to have you on this journey with us.

A New Chapter for Clean Energy: REsurety’s CleanTrade Platform

Posted on September 4, 2025 by - Blog

The first-of-its-kind, CFTC-approved platform is poised to revolutionize clean energy transactions

REsurety hit an incredible milestone: CleanTrade received approval from the CFTC to operate as a Swap-Execution Facility (SEF), marking the first marketplace for clean energy where all buyers, sellers, and traders can negotiate and execute deals on one platform.

Owen Glubiak

VP, Business Development,
CleanTrade

To get a closer look at how CleanTrade is simplifying complex transactions and accelerating the clean energy transition, we sat down with CleanTrade’s VP of Business Development, Owen Glubiak.

How do you explain CleanTrade in one sentence?

For those familiar with trading platforms, the easiest way to explain it is that CleanTrade is “The Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) for renewables.” This is feedback that I often receive from customers who are seeing the platform for the first time.

For people less familiar with trading platforms, CleanTrade is a platform that provides critical liquidity to project-specific VPPAs, PPAs, and project-specific RECs by streamlining the complex process of buying, selling, and trading clean energy. It enables fast execution through end-to-end workflows and offers visibility into market pricing and terms, along with deep insight into project- and contract-specific financial and environmental metrics.

You joined REsurety for CleanTrade – what made this platform stick out?

I’ve been tracking the clean energy market for a long time, starting with the rise of corporate procurement through VPPAs around 2014. Over the past decade, I’ve seen firsthand the gaps in the market, especially when comparing clean energy to other major commodities like oil and natural gas. The clean energy market has lacked the sophisticated tools for risk management for operating projects (and associated VPPAs) and liquidity that are standard in traditional commodity trading. 

The biggest limiting factor has always been the intermittent nature of renewable energy generation, which requires “as-generated” or VPPA (Virtual Power Purchase Agreement) structures. Unlike traditional energy sources such as natural gas, which have a predictable and constant output, the generation of renewable energy varies based on weather. Other major trading platforms, like ICE and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), do not facilitate these transactions due to the fixed volume requirements they have in their platforms. Without sophisticated analytics, it’s difficult to compare these contracts in an “apples-to-apples” way. CleanTrade solves this by providing visibility into market pricing and terms, as well as deep insight into project- and contract-specific financial and environmental metrics.

For years, the manual, bilateral nature of clean energy deals has meant you’re racing against the clock—and often losing. It’s nearly impossible to move fast enough to seize a short-term market opportunity or hedge against sudden risk. Now, with REsurety’s data-driven platforms, the clean energy market can finally achieve the velocity and maturity of traditional energy trading.

What made CleanTrade stand out to me is that it’s the perfect bridge. It combines the compliance rigor required for conducting transactions with the end-to-end workflows you’d expect from major trading platforms. While other platforms are information-only ‘walled gardens,’ CleanTrade is designed to be a CFTC-compliant marketplace, providing the transparency and liquidity that the market needs to mature. It’s the only transaction platform for clean energy that offers both real-time market insights and project-specific data, including financial performance and emissions impact. This holistic approach is what convinced me that CleanTrade is the solution the industry has been waiting for.

What types of questions from customers get you really excited? What can you offer as a solution?

I get most excited when customers ask about how CleanTrade can help them move beyond a single transaction to build a truly optimized and de-risked clean energy strategy.

Questions like,

“How can we use the platform to hedge our portfolio and mitigate risk?”
or
“How can we compare different projects – not just on price, but on their real-world carbon impact?”

are great because they highlight the platform’s full potential.

As a solution, I can offer a comprehensive end-to-end procurement toolkit that addresses these strategic questions directly. I can show them how to use CleanTrade to:

  • Underwrite risk and value: The platform provides advanced analytical forecasts, allowing customers to simulate historical and forecasted settlements under multiple scenarios. They can also view curated public and modeled generation data to inform their decisions.
  • Optimize for maximum impact: Customers can use our proprietary project-specific carbon impact data to optimize their procurement for environmental effectiveness, moving beyond basic REC accounting.
  • Streamline processes: The platform automates the entire workflow, from bid/offer sourcing and key-term negotiation to automated Dodd-Frank compliance reporting and post-transaction settlement tracking.
  • Access a diverse marketplace: CleanTrade provides a comprehensive discovery tool to find and evaluate projects and offers, including both new builds and operational projects, across various contract types and geographies. The platform offers unprecedented visibility into market pricing and terms.

Cargill and Mercuria execute first transaction on CleanTrade

Posted on January 28, 2025 by - Blog

Cargill and Mercuria have collaboratively executed the first transaction as early adopters on REsurety's marketplace, CleanTrade

The Only Marketplace to Buy, Sell, and Trade Clean Energy

Price transparency and liquidity, end-to-end workflows of structured negotiation, on-platform execution, and compliance reporting

Breaking news: Cargill and Mercuria have collaboratively executed the first transaction as early adopters on CleanTrade

REsurety’s founder and CEO Lee Taylor introduces CleanTrade

CleanTrade is the only transaction platform for clean energy, providing critical liquidity to project-specific vPPAs, PPAs, and RECs. In addition to enabling fast executions through end-to-end workflows, CleanTrade provides unprecedented visibility into market pricing and terms, as well as deep insight into project and contract-specific financial and environmental metrics.

Until now, clean energy did not have access to a scalable trading platform or marketplace. As a result, clean energy procurement, trading, and risk management have remained opaque, slow, and inefficient – both financially and environmentally. The CleanTrade marketplace is a platform for buyers, sellers, and traders to provide price transparency and facilitate end-to-end transaction workflows for financially settled contracts for clean energy, or virtual power purchase agreements (VPPAs).

Request a CleanTrade Demo

Contingent upon approval by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), CleanTrade will provide the first CFTC-compliant marketplace for clean energy, known as a Swap Execution Facility (SEF), and in doing so will empower clean energy markets with an unprecedented level of price transparency and liquidity as well as end-to-end workflows of structured negotiation, on-platform execution, and compliance reporting. In addition to this newly created SEF, CleanTrade supports physical power purchase agreements (PPAs) and project-specific renewable energy certificates (RECs).

CleanTrade complements REsurety’s existing software platform, CleanSight, an industry leader for insight into clean energy assets and contract performance. CleanSight offers an integrated suite of clean energy software solutions, enhanced by support from REsurety’s deep domain experts, that buyers, sellers, and investors have long trusted to identify opportunities and risks, evaluate projects, and manage their operational portfolios. Both platforms share the same goal of empowering customers to confidently deploy capital to the highest impact opportunities in the market through transparency, liquidity, and impact.

BOSTON, Mass. – October 15, 2024 – REsurety, Inc., a mission-driven organization dedicated to accelerating the world’s transition to a zero-carbon future, today announced the launch of its first-of-its-kind, scalable transaction marketplace to empower and accelerate the clean energy transition: CleanTrade. The new marketplace has been funded by the company’s recent Series C raise, led by S2G Ventures (“S2G”), a multi-stage investment firm focused on venture and growth-stage businesses across energy, food, agriculture and oceans, and Citi with participation from Angeleno Group and existing investors. 

Until now, clean energy did not have access to a scalable trading platform or marketplace. As a result, clean energy procurement, trading and risk management have remained opaque, slow and inefficient – both financially and environmentally. The CleanTrade marketplace is a platform for buyers, sellers and traders to provide price transparency and facilitate end-to-end transaction workflows for financially settled contracts for clean energy, or virtual power purchase agreements (VPPAs). Contingent upon approval by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), CleanTrade will provide the first CFTC-compliant marketplace for clean energy, known as a Swap Execution Facility (SEF), and in doing so will empower clean energy markets with price transparency and liquidity as well as end-to-end workflows of structured negotiation, on-platform execution and compliance reporting. It is the only existing platform that allows users to rank trades in terms of what is most and least attractive by the implied cost of the carbon abated, supporting a continued commitment to operationalize the Emissions First Partnership’s principles. In addition to this newly created SEF, CleanTrade supports physical power purchase agreements (PPAs) and project-specific renewable energy certificates (RECs).

“CleanTrade fills a critical gap in the energy transition’s toolkit, providing the level of price transparency and transaction liquidity that traditional energy has long benefited from but which clean energy markets have sorely lacked,” said Lee Taylor, REsurety’s founder and CEO. “REsurety has a long history of empowering great decisions with data and insights – and with this new offering we now make those decisions actionable at scale. We are grateful for the support of our new investors and partners at S2G and Citi and look forward to continued collaborative success.”

CleanTrade complements REsurety’s existing software platform, CleanSight, an industry leader for insight into clean energy assets and contract performance. CleanSight offers an integrated suite of clean energy software solutions, enhanced by support from REsurety’s deep domain experts, that buyers, sellers and investors have long trusted to identify opportunities and risks, evaluate projects and manage their operational portfolios. Both platforms share the same goal of empowering customers to confidently deploy capital to the highest impact opportunities in the market through transparency, liquidity and impact.

“At S2G, we are committed to supporting innovations that can help accelerate the clean energy transition, and we believe REsurety and its CleanTrade marketplace represent a game-changing platform in this regard,” said Francis O’Sullivan, managing director at S2G. “Our view is that by providing enhanced price transparency and liquidity, CleanTrade can help reduce the barriers to customer adoption of clean electricity and in turn, this will help support further deployments of clean electricity production capacity.”

O’Sullivan has joined REsurety’s board of directors.

The development of CleanTrade’s innovative digital platform initially grew from Citi’s Commodities division in Markets. CleanTrade is a great demonstration of Citi’s innovation strategy to identify market problems and develop solutions that drive market opportunity and serve clients.

“With REsurety and Citi’s long-standing partnership, it was a natural fit for REsurety to take this on, further develop the platform, and provide the clean-energy economy with a robust diverse product offering,” said Siris Singh, global head of markets strategic investments at Citi.
