Energy trading and distributed generation platform for Brazil's open market
Grupo Bolt operates across Brazil's energy supply chain—trading, retail, import/export, self-generation, and distributed solar—using a modern data stack (AWS, Redshift, Airflow, Spark, Kubernetes) to manage financial and operational complexity. Active projects span data lakes, RAG pipelines, and multi-scenario simulators (impact, remuneration, forecast), signaling a shift from transactional energy operations toward data-driven pricing and risk modeling. Pain points cluster around margin control, single-source-of-truth governance, and automated alerts—typical of a trading operation scaling beyond spreadsheet-based decision-making.
