How Montel Online helps energy analysts improve market modelling

Who are you and what does your company do?

My name is Kruno Kuljis, and I’m Head of Market Analysis at Modity Energy Trading. Modity is a leading energy trading company based in Sweden. We support energy producers, industrials, and utilities with portfolio management and risk advisory services across the Nordic and European markets. Our work relies on accurate, real-time data to model and analyse market developments effectively.

What were your main challenges before using Montel?

Before adopting Montel, accessing reliable, centralised market data was a daily challenge. The energy markets are highly dynamic and globally interconnected, meaning that even small shifts in fundamentals can impact prices.
We needed a single, trustworthy platform that combined live prices, market indicators, and historical data. Collecting and standardising this information manually took significant time and effort and often delayed our ability to react.

With Montel, we can now gather all relevant market information and analytical tools in one place, streamlining our processes and improving the precision of our analysis.

How does Montel Online offer something unique to your trading operations?

Montel Online combines comprehensive price data, market curves, and live updates across Europe, giving us instant access to the information we need. We use the platform daily to monitor price movements, cross-market signals, and correlations between commodities. Consistent, high-quality inputs feed directly into our internal models and trading strategies. The Excel integration is another advantage. We pull real-time prices straight into models and dashboards without manual updates, which saves time and reduces errors.

Besides that the news coverage and highly respected journalists are of high value. Having an ear to the rails in a strongly information driven market makes Montel a top-tier platform.

What do you value most working with Montel?

Efficiency and confidence. By consolidating news and data in one place, Montel saves up to 30 minutes per analyst per day compared to gathering the same information across different sites, time we now invest in modelling and decision-making. That measurable gain, combined with dependable data quality, helps us react faster and improve accuracy across the team.

Ultimately, Montel gives us a trusted, all-in-one data source for better modelling, clearer analysis, and stronger decisions in a fast-moving European market.
