SAMAWATT: Turning Renewable Complexity into Competitive Advantage

As global demand for clean power surges, renewable asset owners—from wind farm operators to solar developers— are facing a critical question: How can fluctuating, weather-dependent generation be translated into stable, predictable revenue streams?

To address this challenge, the renewable energy sector is undergoing a strategic shift—from a pure production mindset to one centered on revenue optimization. This evolution involves integrating technology, data, and financial instruments to ensure that every kilowatt-hour aligns with market opportunities.

SAMAWATT stands as a trusted ally to make that shift actionable.

Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Switzerland, SAMAWATT has emerged as a high-performing enabler of the Renewable Energy Trading-as-a-Service (RETaaS) model. As subsidies decline and competition intensifies, SAMAWATT provides asset operators with the tools and insights needed to transform volatility into value.

At the heart of SAMAWATT’s value proposition lies its flagship platform, SAMA-Asset™—a cloud-native, AI-driven system that redefines how wind, solar, and hybrid assets participate in European and global electricity markets. Designed to optimize forecasting, dispatch, and real-time market bidding, the platform routinely delivers 20 to 50 percent gains in net trading profits for clients. It connects directly to SCADA systems, weather data, and market exchanges, using high-frequency data and stochastic programming to optimize trades across day-ahead, intraday, balancing, and ancillary markets.

Built for speed and scale, the SAMA-Asset^TM platform eliminates the lengthy onboarding and capital investment cycles associated with legacy systems. Asset owners can begin seeing results within a few weeks, making it an ideal solution for utilities, developers, and virtual power plant (VPP) operators alike. After going live, each client is assigned a dedicated success engineer and has access to 24/7 support. Weekly performance reviews are conducted during the first months, ensuring complete knowledge transfer and allowing for early correction of any anomalies.

SAMAWATT’s technological ecosystem extends beyond SAMA-Asset^™. Its proprietary suite of algorithmic trading blueprints, SAMA-Strategies^™, is explicitly built for renewable portfolios navigating wholesale power markets. This system is currently operational across 15 European countries and has been instrumental in supporting zero-imbalance, volumeshifting, and multi-market optimization arbitrage strategies. It has enabled clients to dynamically manage exposures and seize short-term pricing opportunities—unlocking new value streams that were previously out of reach.

Furthermore, its specialized module for battery storage, SAMA-BATT^™, employs a hybrid model that integrates digital twins of each battery system with market-based reinforcement learning. This approach optimizes charge-discharge cycles across revenue streams—from day-ahead arbitrage to frequency regulation—while minimizing battery degradation. The result is a 30 percent increase in battery-based income for clients.

Underlying these solutions is a foundation of deep expertise. SAMAWATT’s team includes eight PhDs and boasts over a century of combined experience across energy trading, AI, and systems engineering. Clients routinely highlight the team’s humility, responsiveness, and willingness to tailor solutions, whether managing a 20 MW solar farm or a 500 MW hybrid portfolio.

The impact of this human-machine collaboration is tangible. In one recent success story, a Swiss utility operating 66 MW of wind assets adopted SAMA-Asset^™ after struggling with imbalance penalties and flat returns. After a short shadow-mode pilot, the client switched to live trading. Forecast accuracy improved by over 20 percent, arbitrage margins increased by 50 percent, and imbalance costs plummeted. Within the first year, trading profitability rose by 40 percent without any changes to the physical infrastructure or team size.

Such results are not anomalies but the product of a system built for learning. SAMAWATT's AI recalibrates every 15 minutes, continuously refining its models by digesting the latest weather, SCADA, and market inputs.

Serving over 25 clients—including industry leaders such as AXPO, Enel and Uniper—and managing 650 MW of capacity, SAMAWATT is expanding rapidly—driven by a clear vision: smarter strategies, faster execution and full transparency in energy trading. As global grids pivot toward renewables, the company ensures that asset owners are profiting from the transition.
