The firm's activities span power trading, origination and power supply.

On the supply side, Monsson Trading offers electricity to businesses with an emphasis on consumption analysis, energy-saving opportunities and renewable energy for small and medium-sized enterprises. The company states that its main asset is its team of 40 highly specialised people, including a team of senior meteorologists, and that its expertise in wind and solar power production forecasting helps it understand market mechanisms. It has performed trading and commercial operations for wind since 2009. In 2019, it diversified into renewable energy production by acquiring the Gălbiori photovoltaic park in Constanța County, a project with 1 MW capacity. The company also engages in social responsibility activities, including donations through the Baylor-Black Sea Foundation. Monsson Trading is a private company. Its website presents it as a partner for renewable energy producers seeking to maximise revenue and reduce imbalance costs, and for consumers seeking competitive electricity supply. The company's online application gives customers control over their energy consumption and account management.

Monsson Trading is a Romanian electricity trading and power supply company that has established itself as a significant player in the South-East European energy market. While the exact founding date is not provided in the available sources, the company states that it has performed trading and commercial operations for wind since 2009, indicating at least a decade of activity in renewable energy markets. The company's core business is electricity trading, where it describes itself as one of the most active traders in South-East Europe. Its objective is to optimise regional resources by forwarding surplus energy to regions with deficits. It operates in both physical and financial power markets, with a presence in Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Serbia and Ireland. In Romania and Hungary, it holds licenses for physical and financial trading; in Bulgaria and Serbia, it is present through partners; and in Ireland, it is under licensing. A key milestone came on 4 July 2019, when Monsson Trading joined the financial market administered by the European Energy Exchange (EEX). This membership granted the company higher flexibility in completing transactions and a more pronounced presence in the market. In the summer of 2019, the company also participated in an event organized by PXE in Prague, where its representatives met over 500 business partners. In 2019, Monsson Trading diversified its activities into renewable energy production by acquiring the Gălbiori photovoltaic park in Constanța County, a project with 1 MW capacity. This move was motivated by a desire to contribute to a world without pollution. The company has developed an intraday desk to support the balance between forecast and actual production or consumption, trading energy closer to delivery time. This has become an essential instrument for managing unexpected changes in consumption or production and accidental unavailability, particularly important given the rising balancing costs of renewable energy. Monsson Trading's origination business offers tailored solutions for renewable energy producers. It provides Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) for projects entering operation from 2020, with fixed or variable price structures for producers up to 3 MW. For producers above 3 MW, it offers Trading Services Agreements (TSAs) or synthetic PPAs with guaranteed revenue structures. It also offers Green Certificates Purchase Agreements (GCPAs) for producers up to 3 MW and Virtual Power Plant (VPP) arrangements to compensate for surplus or production deficits among multiple producers. The company emphasises that its main asset is its team of 40 highly specialised people, including a team of senior meteorologists. This expertise in wind and solar power production forecasting enables it to understand market mechanisms and solve complex problems by combining data and expertise into predictive models. On the power supply side, Monsson Trading offers electricity to businesses, with benefits including reduced electricity bills, consumption analysis, energy-saving opportunities, renewable energy for small and medium-sized enterprises, and 24/7 client support. The company also provides an online application for customers to manage their accounts and monitor consumption. Monsson Trading is a private company. It also engages in social responsibility, including donations through the Baylor-Black Sea Foundation, such as providing milk powder for babies in 2018.
