In this episode, the speakers explore how ETRM platforms have evolved alongside increasingly complex power markets, driven by volatility, regulatory pressure, and the accelerating energy transition. The conversation touches on the practical realities faced by trading desks and back offices alike, from managing short-term power trading and curve trading to handling credit exposure, liquidity risk, and operational resilience.
Chris Regan brings a product and market perspective to the discussion, sharing insights from Brady’s long-standing experience supporting energy trading firms across Europe. The panel examines how ETRM solutions must adapt to support new trading strategies, higher transaction volumes, and the growing importance of automation and straight-through processing. They also discuss the role ETRMs play in enabling firms to respond more effectively to market shocks, while maintaining control and transparency across trading and risk functions.
As Europe continues its shift toward greener energy systems, the demands placed on trading infrastructure are increasing. The discussion highlights how technology can help market participants navigate this transition, balancing innovation with the need for robust risk management and operational stability.
