Future Power Markets
8 Session Coaching Masterclass
Uncertainty (of our investment pathway to net zero) is high and the timescales are long. As we move to net zero, the power industry will be at
the core of the deliverability growth (or not) in a carbon-free future. Power markets have the potential to deliver great things. But the future growth of our marketplace is in the hands of a few disorientated and distracted players: a situation of great concern. Policy thus far has been criticised for being piecemeal and expensive costing the consumer £3.6 billion annually for decarbonisation of the power sector alone.
The School of Energy Markets

We insightfully lead you through current and future market complexity in this 5-day comprehensive coaching class.

Credit Risk in Energy Markets
Electricity is the most volatile commodity in the world. It has a complicated supply chain that doesn’t lend itself to global financial trading therefore finding long term credit worthy counterparty can be a problem (so concentration risk) will always be severe. Furthermore, decades of competition, low margins and acquisitions have left balance sheets brittle: the credit standing of the European energy market have never been of such concern.
Credit risk is an endemic feature of energy markets and with future uncertainty of investment (to meet net zero): prices and risk will amplify. This comprehensive 3-day credit coaching session explorers the current and future of credit risk as we move through to a net zero economy. By examining the players and markets in detail: this course is an essential for those who follow the “Know Your Customer” discipline. The course also presents credit risk management best in class practice.

The Energy Markets Course
Global deregulation and energy policy have and will continue to industrialize our energy marketplaces. The move to a net zero economy will bring opportunities and challenges and is filled with uncertainty. New marketplaces will develop as the heat and hydrogen flexibility and optionality that we will crucially need will be traded. We must accept new commodity trading if the electrical system of the future is to stay in balance. Meanwhile the commercials of energy markets, that deregulated more than 30 years ago, are filled with risk, and return low margins. Complexity abounds. Expectations and understanding how to adapt to these new marketplaces are practically incomprehensible.
However, we must start our transition somewhere and while energy risks are uncertain they are not unimaginable. This 3-day comprehensive markets coaching class contains a detailed assessment of the deregulated energy markets and their players, examining the development of the electrical system with nuclear and renewable generation with the needs of the future heat and hydrogen marketplaces.
