The Council of European Energy Regulators (CEER), in collaboration with the European Federation of Energy Traders (EFET), is organising a unique online course on “European Wholesale Electricity and Gas Market Trading” on 25-26 November 2021. This year's edition will again cover both electricity and gas trading, and will offer special trading simulation sessions.
The course seeks to enhance the understanding of NRA staff about how energy trading is conducted and their knowledge of how traders handle their risks and opportunities by means of periodic transactions in the electricity and gas markets. One of the potential benefits of attending this course is that it may help NRA staff to better carry out their monitoring and surveillance of wholesale energy markets at national, regional and European level. Trainers will explain key aspects of trading in the wholesale electricity and gas markets based on their own operational, commercial and professional experience (rather than from an academic point of view). The trainers of this course include senior and high-level experts from EFET and their member companies as well as an experienced trainer in trading simulations.
WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?
This course is ideally suited for staff of National Regulatory Authorities (NRAs), but representatives from other organisations are also welcome to join.
NRA experts who register for this course will be granted free access to the EFET online Energy Markets Training Programme.
