Jonas Ström

Jonas has been active in the European energy markets for more than 20 years, racking up tons of experience before joining Montel as a senior energy market consultant in 2022. His career has made him an obvious go-to expert within the energy market ecosystem, covering physical and financial energy trading, market analytics, business development, as well as electricity supply, solar power services and charging solutions.

With his broad experience, Jonas is a trusted professional committed to offer guidance on sustainability and operative solutions within the ever-evolving energy markets.

Jonas Melin

Jonas has been active in the Nordic electricity market for 30 years, giving him lots of experience before joining Montel as a senior energy market consultant in 2022.

Different roles have given him deep insights into the various challenges that market players face, whilst he has also been actively engaged in different forums shaping the future of energy markets.

Marc Hasenbeck

Marc is the co-founder and CEO of Germany-based price[IT], a subsidiary of Montel. Based on his studies and work experience, he combines solid insights into financial markets with quantitative economic methods applied to energy markets.

Marc started out developing algorithmic ideas for Price Forward Curves (PFCs) and has since built and refined stochastic price models for cross-commodity markets and asset valuation.

Over the years, he has refined these models through hundreds of risk management and valuation projects for gas storage units and power plants. Developed in close dialogue with asset owners, these projects involve delta hedging of flexibilities as well as daily optimisation of complex CHP facilities.

Sigfred Sørensen

Sigfred is one of the instigators of the Montel Group’s development of machine learning solutions for energy markets and is passionate about how AI can help market players optimise the value of their assets.

So far, the Montel AI division has developed AI-based models for power producers, industries, and traders which help them more accurately predict output from individual wind, run-of-river, and solar plants, as well as inflow to reservoirs and power load – consequently reducing imbalance costs.

The Montel AI team has also developed spot price forecasting models covering most European countries, outperforming many “old-school" approaches.

Sigfred has a broad knowledge of multiple programming languages. If you have any challenges you think an AI/machine learning approach may resolve, please get in touch because we are likely already working on it.
