About
Haast Energy Trading is a proprietary energy trading and investment firm based in Auckland. We invest our own capital, primarily in Australia and New Zealand, with activity across Asia-Pacific.
Trading and investment
Our trading and investment activity spans electricity swaps, futures and options, financial transmission rights, settlement residue auction units and weather derivatives. We also consider opportunities in wider energy and related markets.
We provide liquidity that helps non-integrated generators and retailers manage risk and compete.
Research and modelling
Our models represent the physical systems that shape energy markets, including wind and solar generation, hydrology, demand, batteries, thermal generation and networks.
They help us examine how changes in supply, demand and weather affect dispatch, prices and risk.
Data and software
Our datasets cover weather, generation, dispatch and network flows, supporting model development, testing and daily use.
We develop software for data collection, modelling and trading, alongside tools for research and routine work.
