Maycroft joined forces with River Commodity in a venture called AIEnergizer. We published a white paper about how we supported a major European energy company to implement an Artificial Intelligence solution for their trading activities

Op 5 juni 2018 organiseert Maycroft een seminar waarin 4 topexperts je alles zullen vertellen over Corporate Power Purchase Agreements. Een corporate PPA is niet alleen voor bedrijven interessant, maar zeker ook voor publieke organisaties zoals provincies, gemeenten en ziekenhuizen.

Here's a series of articles about the different aspects of compliance and surveillance.

There is so much going in Europe’s electricity, gas markets. A myriad of new regulations like, REMIT, MAR, EMIR and MiFID 2 need to be dealt with. Many energy companies have taken action to have some kind of program in place to make sure that they will be compliant to regulations like REMIT, MAR and MiFID 2.

The next 3-5 years the global LNG market will go through a cycle of change in the underlying fundamentals. Particularly the new wave of supply from the US is going to be a game changer. If no new demand will be created to absorb this supply surplus, there will be a surge in LNG spot trading. Impacting the global LNG prices in the short and medium term.

We have just launched the first issue of our Energy Compliance Intelligence Series. This publication is a showcase for our ambition to become the leading source for electricity and gas trading compliance.

On July 3, 2016 the Market Abuse Regulation (MAR) will enter into force. MAR deals similar as REMIT with market abuse of the EU power and gas markets. In this report Kasper Walet brings together all his expertise, including his experience with having to deal with the questions and issues the traders are struggling with regarding being REMIT/MAR compliant. 

Don’t you want to know whether you and your company do leave money on the table or that returns are in fact generated by taking much greater risk than is explicit? To allow you to check whether your company’s risk management framework is up-to-date, I have prepared for you a Guide titled; ‘Best Risk Management and Governance Practices for Energy (electricity, natural gas, LNG, coal and oil) Trading’. These best practices are based on my more than 25 years of experience gained from advising numerous large to small sized energy companies from all over the world.

The last couple of years we have successfully conducted several (educational) projects regarding Power Purchase Agreements(PPA's) for energy companies, regulators, financirs and investors from many emerging countries across Asia and Africa. That made us realize that there is a huge need for information about PPA's for IPP projects. That is the exact reason why we have published this report about the Essentials of Power Purchase Agreements as part of our Commodity Intelligent Series.

Our latest publication "Asian Coal Benchmarks and Risk Management Report” is a must read for everyone who would like to get a thorough overview and understanding of the evolution of the Asian Coal market dynamics, benchmark indices and risk management instruments.

In the past year Kasper Walet has conducted several highly successful PPA training courses for countries in Africa, the Middle East and Asia. These courses were well attended by regulators, project developers, state owned energy companies and many others.

With the implementation of EMIR, clearing will become mandatory for many companies, also for non financial companies active in the (energy) commodity markets. The result would be that these companies will be dealing only with one or two Central Counterparties (CCPs). The probability of a clearing house going bust is very low, due to well-structured and capitalized CCPs. But it certainly is not impossible, and the impact would be devastating to the entire financial system.

Kasper Walet conducted a successful 3 day training course about the Global LNG markets in general and the Asia spot market in particular in Singapore February 20-22. The event was organized by Petro Edge.

The credit function at energy and commodity companies looks set to undergo revolutionary changes over the next couple of years. Regulation of derivatives trading has become a focus for governments across the globe since the financial crisis, with the US taking the lead in the form of the Dodd-Frank Act and Europe following closely behind.

In this one day seminar we will share our view on what is likely to happen and how you could prepare yourself and your company to manage these changes.

As promised in a previous news article, we publish English information about the coming seminar "Preparatory Workshop for
the Practical Implementation of Carbon Prevention and Emission Trading Strategies into Business Concepts of Korean Companies", on May 23-25 in Seoul.

It is now most likely that an emission trading scheme in Korea will start in 2015. Although 2015 seems far away we would strongly advise Korean companies to start preparing right now. It will all start with education. During a 3 day Masterclass - jointly organized by Maycroft and Seoul based Carbicon, Kasper Walet will share his extensive expertise and explain how the European peer companies did prepare themselves to the EU ETS cap and trade system.

Electricity markets are really volatile, offering both challenges and opportunities. To survive in this exciting and competitive environment an effective trading and risk management strategy is essential. The key to successful trading activities will be having access to real-time information about a wide range of factors including power prices, prices of other key commodities like gas, coal and oil, understanding speculative activity, global, regional and local events and demand and supply dynamics.

Research shows that the hot topic among energy companies in 2009 is Risk Management. Maycroft introduces a new service called the 'Maycroft Risk Scan'.
