Set to launch in 2024, ElectronX, an Exchange and Clearinghouse for electricity derivatives, aims to create a marketplace to help companies manage the volatility in electricity prices caused by intermittent renewable energy sources like wind and solar power, as well as extreme weather events such as the Texas heat waves. With renewable energy supplying a record 23% of U.S. electricity demand in 2023, ElectronX seeks to stabilize prices and mitigate the impact of unpredictable weather on the energy market. Led by CEO Sam Tegal and CTO Zoran Perkov, ElectronX has built a team of industry experts and is backed by leading investors such as Amplo Ventures and Box Group.
