How Montel Online helps energy investors make faster market assessments

Who are you and what does your business do?

My name is Aleksi Nordlund, and I’m Director Power Market at Taaleri in Finland. We’re a renewable energy investor focusing on solar, wind, and battery projects across Europe and the United States. The power market is central to our business because it drives project revenues and long-term investment value. My role is to ensure we have a clear understanding of current and future market developments to support our investment decisions.

What challenges do you face in energy markets?

As an investor, we don’t have a large trading or extensive in-house power market analytics teams. Our biggest challenge is efficiency: we need quick access to accurate market information without spending hours collecting it from multiple sources. We also need to stay up to date across several countries at once, from the Nordics to South Europe, so having everything consolidated in one reliable platform is key.

What attracted Taaleri to Montel?

We chose Montel Online because it gives us an easy, time-efficient way to follow daily developments in the European power market. The platform provides instant access to prices, market news, and insights in one place, helping us form a view of what’s happening without switching between systems. Compared to other tools, Montel is straightforward to use and maintain, and its coverage extends across Europe. This makes it ideal for companies like ours that need to track multiple markets quickly and consistently.

Can you identify a time where Montel really helped you?

We use Montel to check market prices and key headlines, a process that takes just a few minutes. The time savings are significant, as it replaces manual data gathering and fragmented research across various sources. Montel helps us identify price movements or policy changes early, allowing us to react faster and refine our investment outlook accordingly.

What do you value most working with Montel?

What I value most is the accessibility. Montel delivers the information we need without unnecessary complexity. The news feed in particular helps us stay alert to market signals and trends, ensuring that we have a view what is happening in the market. We’ve been using Montel for a many years now, and it’s become a core part of how we follow European power markets, simple, efficient. For us, Montel Online provides exactly what matters most: a clear, fast, and reliable view of the energy markets that drive investment decisions.
