We are a major Irish utility and we commissioned the development of an ISEM specific Trading simulator from Apt. This included a number of different types of generation plant allowing us to mirror the new markets and giving valuable insight into how the market operates. This was rolled out across our organisation including station operators, traders, risk management and back-office staff. We will continue to run the ISEM simulation across our business as it is an invaluable tool to educate both current staff and new recruits.”

“We as an independent generator in the UK used the training course for graduate selection. A group of potential recruits were put through the course and simulation exercise while being observed by our HR and trading management. This allowed our organization to observe how they behaved in a practical, team-based exercise with an element of unfamiliarity and time pressure. As well as allowing us to select candidates with a quick grasp of commercial and technical issues, the business felt it demonstrated their own progressive nature to potential recruits.”
