The growing role of wholesale traded energy markets across Europe creates a greater need for players throughout the value chain to be aware of the latest market movements and developments. From the wellhead or power station gate to the end-user, volatility in the spot and forward price of power and gas is creating an increasingly challenging environment for all market participants.

Scope
An examination of the wholesale gas price trends in Europe's three key markets - the UK NBP, the Zeebrugge Hub and the Dutch TTF.
An assessment of traded power prices in the UK, Belgian, Dutch, German and French wholesale power markets.
Insight and analysis into the impact of wholesale markets on the wholesale / retail price interface.
Highlights
