Session description

Decarbonisation, decentralisation of energy resources, combined with digitalisation, is reshaping the power market. This trend is already visible on the Intraday power markets in Europe where automated trading applications are developing at a quick pace to help operate/market the significant amounts of intermittent renewable energy on the system closer to real-time. And this is just the beginning: over the coming years, digital technologies are set to make energy systems around the world more connected, intelligent, efficient and reliable. This is changing markets drastically. This session will look at the new challenges and opportunities this creates for market participants.
