Our electricity trading solutions for a secure electricity supply

It is essential that electricity can be traded as flexibly as possible on the European electricity markets in order to ensure that a balanced volume of electricity is available around the clock. Optimising the sale and procurement processes requires a flexible portfolio and dynamic sourcing and hedging.

With Alpiq's electricity trading solutions, you can buy and sell volumes of electricity flexibility, hedge your portfolio against price fluctuation risks, and increase the profitability of your energy procurement or production.
