Altra Energy Technologies

Altra Energy Technologies was a Houston, Texas software company founded in 1996 by Williams and PanEnergy (later Duke Energy) that built neutral online trading platforms for the energy sector. Its flagship marketplace, Altrade, provided a real-time, anonymous electronic exchange for trading natural gas, crude oil, natural gas liquids, and power, backed by energy transaction management software spanning deal capture, portfolio monitoring, physical scheduling, and back-office reconciliation and settlement. At its peak the platform served more than 6,000 users worldwide. The company raised roughly $55.5M from investors including Battery Ventures, Austin Ventures, BP, Candescent Partners, and Capital Resource Partners. It ceased to exist as an independent company around 2002: its software operations were acquired by Caminus Corporation and its online marketplace by ChemConnect (recorded elsewhere as Supply Chain Connect). No live developer portal, API, or public developer surface exists for this defunct company.

Altra Energy Technologies is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Energy, Energy Trading, Oil and Gas, and Natural Gas.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Energy & Utilities regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%.
