Electrification is redefining energy Volue appoints Stephan Sieber as CEO

In the AI era, Volue enables energy leaders to convert volatility into advantage through real-time intelligence, automation, and optimisation of assets for efficiency, precision and performance.
Volue, the market leader in electrification software, announces the appointment of Stephan Sieber as Chief Executive Officer at a pivotal moment for the energy sector.
Electrification is accelerating at historic speed. Weather-dependent renewable power systems are becoming more unpredictable and data-intensive, and customers face rising operational complexity. Stephan’s mandate is to extend Volue’s market leadership and drive transformation and growth, unleashing Volue’s expertise across data & forecasting, trading, optimisation & planning, and grid operations – helping energy customers turn complexity into competitive advantage.
A Market at an Inflection Point
Europe is on track to double its electrification efforts by 2030, adding as much capacity in the next five years as in the previous three decades. This surge, driven in part by the electrification of transport and heat, and rising digital demand from AI and data centres, is fundamentally reshaping energy markets. Power systems are no longer centralised and predictable; they are becoming distributed, volatile, and data intensive. Decision windows are shrinking, markets transact continuously, and success now depends on real-time intelligence, automation, and precision, capabilities Volue delivers to more than 800 energy customers across Europe and Japan.
Enabling Performance in Volatile Markets
Volue supports energy companies in operating their assets effectively under these conditions through:
- Real-time operations intelligence, enabling market anticipation and execution, with 30% of Europe’s intraday market volume flowing through Volue Trading solutions.
- AI-driven optimisation influencing decisions across 500 TWh of annual generation, representing 20% of Europe’s total power production, and positioning Volue as the data to decision making leader.
- Integrated multi-market execution, reinforcing Volue’s position as the dominant partner of choice for 40% of Europe’s Independent Power Producers in renewable integration.
Leadership for the Next Phase of Growth and Expansion
Stephan Sieber joins Volue following a year of stellar organic growth and selective M&A, with the company well positioned to scale its impact across regions and segments in 2026 and beyond.
Stephan Sieber, CEO, Volue, said: “With electrification accelerating and system complexity rising, customers need to partner with the best technology providers. Volue turns complexity into advantage, and the momentum with our customers right now is just the beginning. I’m extremely excited about where the company, the market, and our customers are, and how quickly the impact is compounding. We’re converting complexity into competitive advantage, together.”
Pete Daffern, Chairman of Volue, added: “Throughout his career, Stephan has consistently delivered exceptional results, driving growth, leading complex strategic and operational transformations, and building high-performing teams in some of the most competitive markets. He has an extraordinary ability to understand customer needs, anticipate market trends, and turn opportunities into tangible, lasting outcomes, earning him a reputation as a market-proven leader. As Volue continues to define and lead, the Board is unequivocally confident that Stephan’s unmatched experience and proven track record make him the ideal leader to accelerate the company’s next chapter, continuing its trajectory of unprecedented growth and cementing our position as a market leader for years to come.”
