As an independent energy trader, Alpiq provides large customers with access to electricity exchanges. Acting as an "energy bank", we handle trading for our clients and offer models that allow them to optimise their energy procurement. Our partners benefit from our expertise in portfolio and risk management.

Alpiq trades in electricity, standardised and structured products, as well as conducting transactions on European energy exchanges and engaging in bilateral trading, we are continually expanding our leading role as an independent energy trader within Europe.

In our business model, trading combines the value-adding stages of generation and sales with the liberalised wholesale market. Our mission is to support trading and sales in the most important markets with production from our own power stations, in order to assure electricity procurement and reduce risk.

Power trading is our core business

Alpiq Energy SE engages in bilateral over-the-counter (OTC) trading of standard and structured products with European trading partners as well as on the main European energy exchanges.

OTC markets

Alpiq Energy engages in bilateral trading in physical electricity on European OTC markets on a spot or forward (medium to long-term) basis.

Structured products

Due to major price fluctuations, European electricity markets involve high risk. With this in mind, we trade in a large variety of structured products to effectively hedge against risks. These products range from simple hedging products to complex structured insurance.

Energy exchanges

Alpiq Energy is an active player in European energy exchanges. In Central and Eastern Europe, we actively trade on the following exchanges: EEX, EXAA, PXE, POLPX, Borzen, OPCOM.

Power plant optimisation and management

As an active trader we engage in intraday trading on various platforms as well as OTC.  This helps us to optimise power plant usage and market free capacities.
