About Us

Center of Excellence in Energy Technology

Centrex Solutions was founded on a simple idea: energy companies deserve consultants who understand both the technology and the business. We deliver that rare combination.

Our Story

The name Centrex is derived from “Center of Excellence” — and that principle shapes everything we do. Founded in Houston, the energy capital of the world, Centrex Solutions brings together decades of hands-on experience in energy trading and risk management technology.

Our founding partners have led ETRM implementations, built trading desk integrations, and delivered data solutions for some of the largest energy companies in North America. We recognized that the industry needed a consultancy that could bridge the gap between technology teams and trading operations — one that speaks both languages fluently.

Today, Centrex Solutions serves power and gas trading companies with specialized expertise in ION Endur, pipeline integration, data services, and applied artificial intelligence. Our mission is to present the right information to the right people at the right level of granularity at the right time — transforming raw data into actionable business decisions while prioritizing quality, transparency, and integrity.
