Electricity Trading and Liquidity Risk in CEE and SEE

30 Jan 2012 - 01 Feb 2012

Emerging markets hold unique opportunities for power trading players and many are keen to establish a strong presence in a new region before their competitors. But immature markets are high-risk environments and despite potential for huge profit margins, tackling liquidity risk can pose a challenge. The electricity markets in CEE and SEE are known for being the most difficult commodity markets to trade due to their relative immaturity and illiquidity.

However the incentive for trading in such difficult markets is that the opportunity for making profit is much higher than in more liquid commodity markets. CEE and SEE regions are characterised by more risks but also more opportunities. Turkey is also a market that has a huge potential and it’s already undergoing a liberalisation process that is seeing significant changes in the regulations and in the trading dynamics. This has considerably increased foreign participation and investment in the power sector.

This marcus evans forum will offer key industry stakeholders, venturing into less liquid markets, the opportunity to learn how to address liquidity and capacity allocation hurdles to capitalise on the huge rewards that emerging markets present.
