Düsseldorf-based E.ON Energy Trading began operations in January 2008. As a functionally segmented market unit, it combines all of our European trading activities, including electricity, gas, coal, oil, and CO2 allowances. The company is responsible for commodity risk management and the optimization of E.ON’s assets three years prior to delivery. Combining integration and optimization with innovative new business generation, E.ON Energy Trading helps to achieve a better return for the E.ON Group than the other market units could do on their stand-alone assets.

 

E.ON Energy Trading operates across Europe’s liquid energy markets and is responsible for managing the E.ON Group’s commodity position in these markets. It also conducts optimization (fuel procurement, generation fleet and gas portfolio management, and sales procurement) and, within clearly defined limits, proprietary trading. As an asset-backed trader, E.ON Energy Trading commercializes E.ON’s European asset position consisting of more than 60 GW of electric generating capacity and more than 1,000 TWh of natural gas.

 

This centralized approach enables us to combine E.ON Energy Trading’s outstanding market expertise with the E.ON Group’s presence along the entire energy value chain in order to leverage synergies and create additional growth.
