Why trade electricity?
Trading electricity allows market participants to manage exposure to these drivers, hedge volatility and respond to changes in supply and demand. When electricity is traded alongside related fuels and environmental products, participants gain the ability to see how these markets interact and to build strategies that reflect the full dynamics of energy pricing.
