Case Study: Uniper achieves faster, enterprise-wide optimization and new market opportunities with FICO Xpress Optimization

Energy firm leverages optimization across the enterprise to maximize value from volatile markets

Uniper, a global power generator operating across 40 countries, needed to scale its commercial expertise into enterprise‑wide decisioning to handle volatile commodity markets and a complex asset mix (thermal, hydro, nuclear, gas storage and trading). The company sought standardized, cloud‑ready optimization tools to improve model performance, speed up results, and support new business opportunities across its operations.

Uniper adopted FICO Xpress Optimization on an enterprise cloud license—using Xpress Insight, Solvers, Mosel and related components—to run more complex models faster and deliver results in record time. The rollout improved energy‑storage valuation, enabled predictive‑maintenance services, optimized market channel, hydro and gas portfolio planning, and provided clearer, faster decisioning that unlocked new revenue streams and operational efficiencies.
