CleanTrade brings unprecedented transparency, liquidity, and end-to-end transaction workflow support to clean energy markets

BOSTON, Mass., Sept. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- REsurety, the leading provider of software, services, and marketplace solutions empowering the future of energy, today announced the regulatory approval of its clean energy transaction platform, , from the US federal Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). CleanTrade now provides the first and only compliant marketplace for financially-settled contracts for clean energy, often referred to as virtual power purchase Agreements (VPPAs). Global food and agriculture company Cargill and leading independent energy and commodity group Mercuria, early adopters on Clean Trade, were matched to execute the first transaction on the platform.

Regulated transaction platforms, such as the Intercontinental Exchange, have been key drivers of transparency and liquidity in traditional energy markets for years, allowing market participants to procure, sell, and trade energy products such as natural gas, oil, and baseload power with speed and confidence. Now, with formal approval from the CFTC, CleanTrade unlocks these significant benefits for clean energy markets.

"Last year, more than 90% of new US generation capacity came from clean energy sources, but despite that explosive growth, clean energy markets have been deprived of the sophisticated toolkit that traditional thermal energy has long benefited from," said REsurety CEO Lee Taylor. "With this CFTC approval, CleanTrade now fills that huge void in the energy markets."

Historically, clean energy transactions have been supported by brokers and information service providers. But that process was opaque and illiquid, and transacting was cumbersome. As the industry has scaled and matured, its needs have outgrown those services. As an approved Swap Execution Facility (SEF), CleanTrade is the first and only marketplace and platform where organizations can fully transact. It provides full market transparency into transactable bids and offers for clean energy and enables end-to-end workflow support, from automated generation of compliant form transaction documents to Dodd-Frank reporting.

In addition to providing a marketplace for the SEF-enabled VPPA products, CleanTrade also provides much-needed transparency and liquidity for physical power purchase agreements and project-specific renewable energy certificates. CleanTrade users also benefit from the industry-leading financial and environmental analytics provided by REsurety's platform, providing best-in-class insight into project-specific capture rate and congestion risk exposures as well as the granular and rigorous environmental metrics increasingly demanded by leading clean energy buyers such as 24/7 carbon-free electricity advocates and the .

"A transparent and liquid clean energy marketplace and transaction-ready platform like CleanTrade has been sorely needed in this sector for years, so I'm thrilled to see REsurety stepping up to lead the charge," said Peter Freed, former director of energy strategy at Meta and now founding partner at Near Horizon Group and board member at REsurety Markets. "CleanTrade allows users to discover and capitalize on the 100-gigawatt corporate market of high-value VPPA contracts — and also allows clean energy buyers to manage the risk of contracts they've already signed."

CleanTrade was purpose-built to serve the diverse spectrum of today's clean energy market participants, from the buyers and sellers of long-term greenfield VPPAs to the owners of existing projects or contracts who are looking to actively manage their exposure to energy markets — whether for a month, a year, or a decade.
