Power producers

Expertise for power producers

The marketing of electricity production requires a comprehensive setup of contracts, settlement processes and management strategies. Furthermore, the best way of applying any production flexibility by means of mathematical modelling is anything but trivial. Producers of renewable energy in particular are entering uncharted territory in this regard, when fixed feed-in tariffs end and marketing on the free market instead enters the picture. PPAs, tranche contracts or the sale of standard products are often still unknown sentities. Since energy supply companies are showing increasingly less willingness to cover the range of risks involved (balancing energy, profile or volumes), their evaluation and reduction of these is particularly is essential for successful marketing.

Expertise and markets

Energy is our passion and we are renowned experts for energy markets and energy supply contracts. Whilst our main focus is on wholesale trading of electricity, natural gas and CO2-certificates, we also monitor the markets for coal and crude oil in order to assess their impact on other markets. Regionally, our core area is Central and Eastern Europe, yet we also manage portfolios in almost all European countries and the United States. Above all, international customers appreciate our transnational competence regarding various framework conditions.

Market commentary May 2023

Europe was lucky in the previous year when it came to energy prices. After a year of extreme gas and power prices in the spot market, the price explosion expected in summer 2022 did not occur in 2023. Conversely, the spot market price for power and gas in the first weeks of 2023 has been far below the levels of last summer.

The main cause of high energy prices is the Russian attack on Ukraine, which is slowly becoming a war of attrition. And the end is still not in sight.

So why the sharp drop in prices?
