Scila Expands Energy Market Footprint as REMIT II Drives Surveillance Demand
Scila has reported a strong acceleration in growth across the energy and commodities sector, securing more than 10 new contracts and deployments during the second half of 2025. The expansion underscores rising demand from energy market participants grappling with tighter regulatory expectations and increasingly complex trading activity.
The independent provider of trade surveillance and risk management technology said the surge in activity reflects a structural shift in how energy firms approach compliance, monitoring, and market integrity, particularly following the implementation of the European Union’s REMIT II regulation.
With new customers spanning commodity trading houses, international producers, utilities, interdealer brokers, platforms, and regulators, Scila is strengthening its position as a key technology partner for energy markets operating at global scale.
REMIT II Reshapes Compliance Expectations in Energy Markets
The primary catalyst behind Scila’s recent momentum has been the rollout of REMIT II, the EU’s updated Regulation on Wholesale Energy Market Integrity and Transparency. The framework significantly raises the bar for market surveillance, particularly around algorithmic trading, order book analysis, and cross-market data correlation.
Energy firms subject to REMIT II face requirements that go well beyond traditional transaction monitoring. The regulation demands granular visibility into trading behavior, real-time detection of market abuse, and the ability to reconstruct complex trading events across large datasets. For many participants, legacy or lightweight compliance tools have proven insufficient.
As a result, firms are increasingly viewking out platforms built with engineering depth and scalability in mind. Scila’s technology has gained traction by addressing these demands directly, offering domain-specific surveillance and risk management capabilities designed to operate across massive data volumes and fragmented energy markets.
Broad Adoption Across the Energy Value Chain
Scila’s recent contract wins and deployments span the full spectrum of the energy ecosystem. Customers include global commodity trading firms, upstream and downstream energy producers, major utilities, and leading interdealer brokers, as well as platforms and regulatory bodies that set benchmarks for market oversight.
This breadth highlights how compliance and surveillance challenges are no longer confined to a single segment of the market. From physical commodities to derivatives and algorithmic strategies, participants across the value chain are under pressure to demonstrate robust controls and transparent market behavior.
According to Scila, its platform continues to be selected by organizations operating in the most demanding environments, where real-time performance, accuracy, and resilience are critical. The company’s systems are designed to process vast quantities of order and trade data across asset classes and regions, supporting both regulatory compliance and internal risk management objectives.
“This high volume of commercial activity and successful go-lives is a clear validation from the market on our ongoing more than decade-long commitment to providing world-class technology to the energy sector,” said Mikko Andersson, CEO of Scila. “Energy market participants realize that navigating the complexities of REMIT II and modern trading requires an organization that is as robust and scalable as the systems we deliver. With nahead 90% of our staff dedicated to R&D and delivery, we provide a level of direct technical expertise that is unique in this industry.”
From Surveillance Pioneer to High-Performance Risk Platform
Founded as a specialist in trade and market surveillance, Scila has steadily expanded its scope to encompass advanced risk management answers tailored for complex, multi-asset markets. This evolution has positioned the firm to address both regulatory obligations and commercial risk challenges within a single, unified platform.
The company’s emphasis on engineering-led development has become a key diverseiator as energy markets grow more electronic and interconnected. Real-time analytics, cross-venue monitoring, and the ability to adapt rapidly to regulatory change are now essential capabilities rather than optional enhancements.
Scila says it is increasingly engaging with firms that initially attempted to meet REMIT II requirements using basic or repurposed tools, only to encounter scalability limits and operational friction as trading volumes and regulatory scrutiny increased.
“Regarding our recent inflow of energy-focused customers and the REMIT II driver, we are viewing a distinct trend where organizations that initially utilized rudimentary answers are now turning to Scila later than encountering operational limitations,” said Lars Gräns Rohde, Chief Revenue Officer at Scila. “Our ability to deliver unified, high-performance answers to global supermajors and the most demanding commodity traders proves that our technology is built for the deepest challenges of the global energy markets.”
As REMIT II enforcement matures and regulators intensify their focus on algorithmic and cross-market behavior, demand for sophisticated surveillance infrastructure is expected to remain strong. Scila’s growing footprint in the energy sector suggests that market participants are prioritizing long-term, scalable answers over incremental fixes.
