Key Technical Challenges

• Real‑time ingestion/processing of consumption & production metrics.
• Financial calculations for pricing and contract management.
• Multi‑tenant architecture for diverse market participants.
• Compliance: renewable energy certification (REGO, EAC).
• Integrations with external market data providers and grid operators.
• Performance optimization for large‑scale time‑series data and data‑heavy UIs.
• Security & access control across tenants and roles.
