Engage With Our Expertise

St Clements has an extensive and long-established knowledge of the GB electricity and gas markets.
Since our creation in 1989 the Company has been involved in most of the major changes to those markets.

Technical expertise is a pre-requisite for a software developer. However we augment our technical skills by developing a deep understanding of the detail of industry processes and data exchanges. This includes reviewing government legislation and regulation, regulatory requirements and changes to industry rules. We often sit on industry consultative bodies, comment on change proposals and produce a fortnightly ‘Watching Brief’ document covering potential change within the industry and its potential impact on our products. This provides a forward-looking radar and alerting mechanism for our customers to ensure that they do not get caught off-guard.

We have played a core role in:

Establishment of the 1990 Electricity Pool
The introduction of domestic competition in Electricity supply in 1998
The New Electricity Trading Arrangements (NETA) in 2001 and the British Electricity Trading Arrangements (BETTA) in 2004
Electricity Market Reform (EMR) in 2015
OFGEM’s Switching programme in 2017-2020
OFGEM’s Market-Wide Half Hourly Settlement Programme in 2021-2026

Unusually for a software developer, our industry insight enables us to write the detailed user requirements in response to industry change before consulting with our customers and then progressing to the design/build test phases.

Most organisations strive to get things right first time, but it’s tough to achieve consistently. Our product-based user groups allow us to bring together the best knowledge from different customers to combine with our own insight in order to get much closer to that 100% goal every time.

If you buy into one of our products, you gain access to over 35 years of industry knowledge and our wider intelligence gathering ecosystem. There is no better way to put you in the best possible place to deal with whatever the future has to offer.
