Energy markets are volatile, price risk can seriously impact asset value and business success, and not all energy asset owners want price risks as part of their portfolio.
That is what Ørsted’s energy risk management services are all about. We purchase your energy, certificates, and related products on competitive terms – and manage the risk of selling these products for you.
For each customer, we develop a bespoke contract that meets individual needs and market conditions. With a range of different structures available, these agreements provide price certainty, align revenues with needs, and allow risk to be shared in a way that works for both sides.
In short, by taking on all or part of the risk associated with trading, Ørsted gives you price certainty and revenue predictability.
At our end, once an agreement is in place, we manage the underlying positions – buying, holding, reshaping, and selling exposures as markets move. The aim is the same as with our own assets: to reduce volatility, ensure stable returns, and make sure risks are addressed in a controlled manner.
Ørsted’s energy risk management services provide a unique opportunity for third parties to achieve greater certainty – and to strengthen our own trading portfolio and showcase the value of our sophisticated route-to-market operations.
Our proprietary energy trading and origination activity leverages advanced quantitative models, real-time analytics, and automated trading systems to identify and capture opportunities across global energy markets. We actively trade a diverse range of instruments, including natural gas, power, options, and certificates, with a focus on optimising risk-adjusted returns.
By integrating digital innovation, data science, and AI-driven forecasting, we navigate market volatility to deliver sustainable performance and support Ørsted’s strategy.
