Soldera Feature Spotlight: Aggregated Forward Sales

Guarantee of Origin (GO) market volatility creates revenue uncertainty that unfortunately can keep renewable producers awake at night.

Thankfully, aggregated forward sales transform unpredictability into strategic advantage, and help you be a stronger market participant via a calculated exposure to both upside and downside. Aggregated forward sales are best understood as routine and disciplined sales that lock in price premiums for future production (aka, coordinated before production begins), offering clear benefits over spot .

However, many producers lack the ability to craft forward instruments that are:

• Large enough in volume to attract buyer interest
• Sufficiently networked for competitive bidding
• Are legally watertight and have adequate KYC in place
• Prepared in advance with scheduled transfers to avoid manual reminders

Soldera's offering

Soldera's aggregated forward sales eliminate individual facility timing risk by pooling future production into institutional-grade auction packages where 120+ buyers compete for exactly the volumes and attributes they need. This means producers can:

• Have their volumes included in our aggregated forward tenders
• Access predictable revenue from vetted buyers
• Experience seamless, automated transfer scheduling and registry operations
• Enjoy a platform without upfront costs - purely success-fee based.

One-click percentage allocation

To hedge appropriately, or perhaps to coordinate PPAs or held volumes, member producers can set allocation percentages for next year's production through simple interface controls. The Soldera platform automatically segments incoming certificates according to the established preferences in the inventory . Then, quarterly execution averages out seasonal market swings whilst capturing consistent forward premiums - that historically have exceeded spot pricing.

Institutional market access

Our aggregation creates volumes that are appealing to buyer segments typically reserved for utility-scale transactions. Corporate purchasers, trading firms, and brokers bid competitively on tenders segmented by country, technology, support status, and quality labels. When considering the best setup for forward tenders, it's still the FAN strategy that we encourage to our producers - Frequent, Aggregated, Networked. FAN combines disciplined sales cadence with volume pooling and extensive buyer relationships to consistently achieve optimal pricing outcomes.
