EDF Trading
This EDF subsidiary is a leading player across the international wholesale energy markets.
The fact that electricity cannot be stored means that EDF must be able to provide exactly the right quantity of electricity to meet customer demand at every moment of every day, and at the best-possible costs. Optimisation aims to forecast this demand and constantly achieve the most efficient balance between all the resources available to meet it (generating capacity, long-term supply contracts, wholesale market purchasing, etc.).
More than 400 people share responsibility for optimising EDF electricity generation in France. The work they do allows EDF to deliver on its supply commitments to customers, at the same time as covering physical, financial and market risks.
Optimising the EDF asset portfolio secures and maximises gross margin at every stage of electricity generation and marketing.
All of which is made possible by acting on the many levers available for asset flexibility upstream (management of water for hydropower, scheduling generating plant maintenance downtime, etc.), and downstream (load shedding, etc.), as well as the constant quest to identify the best buying and selling opportunities in wholesale markets via EDF Trading.
As the Group's interface to the world's wholesale energy markets, EDF Trading provides the full range of optimisation, risk management and trading services for wholesale energy markets. This Group company is a leading player in the wholesale markets for electricity, gas and coal. It also operates in the LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas), freight and environmental products markets.
Optimisation and energy trading are as essential to the security of EDF electricity supply as they are to maximising its gross margin and forecasting the forward development of markets.
This EDF subsidiary is a leading player across the international wholesale energy markets.
The European Energy eXchange (EEX) merged Powernext activities into EEX on 1 January 2020.
