Yes. There are PnL attribution tools and broader commodity trading/risk platforms that are commonly used in energy commodities trading workflows, though many are marketed as E/CTRM, risk, or profitability attribution rather than “PnL attribution” alone.

Options to look at

1. Commodity trading / ETRM platforms with PnL and risk analytics These often include deal-level PnL, MTM, and attribution-style reporting:

  • Endur (ION) – widely used in energy trading; strong for complex physical and financial positions.
  • Allegro Horizon – energy/commodity trading and risk management with PnL, valuation, and exposure reporting.
  • RightAngle (FIS) – common in oil, gas, power, and renewables; includes valuation and PnL workflows.
  • TriplePoint – used in commodity trading with risk and PnL analysis.

2. Specialized risk/analytics layers that can support PnL attribution These may sit on top of ETRM data and provide explain/drill-down capabilities:

  • KPMG Origin / advisory-built attribution layers – less a packaged product, more solution-oriented.
  • Murex – stronger in derivatives/market risk, but can support commodity valuation and attribution in some setups.
  • Kynetix / custom analytics stacks – used to build attribution on top of trade and market data.

3. BI/analytics platforms commonly customized for PnL attribution Not energy-specific out of the box, but often used by energy desks for customized attribution:

  • Power BI / Tableau + data warehouse
  • Databricks / Snowflake-based analytics
  • Custom Python/SQL attribution engines fed by ETRM and market data

What “good” energy PnL attribution usually needs

If your workflow is energy-specific, look for support for:

  • Physical and financial positions
  • Shaped curves / forward curves
  • Storage, transport, basis, location spreads
  • Optionality and complex settlement rules
  • FX, freight, and cross-commodity effects
  • Daily vs intraday PnL explain
  • Trade, valuation, and market move decomposition

Practical note

In energy trading, many firms do not rely on a standalone “PnL attribution” product. Instead, they use:

  1. an ETRM/CTRM system for position capture and valuation,
  2. a market data/risk engine for revaluation,
  3. a custom attribution layer to explain PnL by curve move, new trades, roll, carry, basis, storage, etc.

If you want, I can also give you:

  • a shortlist specifically for power/oil/gas/LNG, or
  • a comparison table of the major platforms by PnL attribution capability.
