Case Study: Vattenfall achieves reliable, scalable real-time energy trading and regulatory compliance with Axway Interchange (Axway)

Integrated Energy Company Achieves Agility to Meet New Market Model with Axway Interchange

Vattenfall/Nuon, a major European energy company operating across generation, transmission, distribution and sales, faced a rapidly liberalizing Dutch market and a surge in time‑sensitive, confidential wholesale trades. After Vattenfall acquired operational control of Nuon, the company needed to support industry standards (EDINE/EDIGAS), handle dramatic increases in data exchanges (more than 700 messages in the hour before Gate Closure), meet strict regulatory reporting deadlines and avoid costly fines while adapting to new market and renewable‑driven business models.

Vattenfall/Nuon implemented Axway Interchange along with Axway Secure Relay and Axway Integrator to automate sending, receiving, translating and integrating messages. The solution provides standard monitoring, secure reliable delivery, real‑time scalability for peak trading, and easier adaptation to new market models; it ensured regulatory compliance, eliminated manual bottlenecks and delivered a rapid ROI (estimated within two years).
