"Managing Energy Markets in a Complex World"

2nd Series, May 3-31, 2022

 

In this latest online educational seminar organized by IENE, in association with specialist consulting firm STRATEGY TECHNICS, the emphasis is on the functioning of energy markets in a complex environment and the real challenges posed to market participants.

This is a tailor-made pioneering seminar designed to address the needs of senior executives in the broad energy sector. In 11 three-hour sessions, including presentations, Q&A, group meetings and course work, the seminar will seek to provide each participant with the necessary tools and inside information which will enable him/her to recognise, assess and decipher today’s truly complex world in which modern energy markets function. An environment which executives have to navigate almost daily as they are called upon to make decisions which will affect planned Investments, projects on the ground, market operation and ultimately the success or failure of their companies and the services they provide to their customers.

Today’s energy markets, whether physical or futures, are constantly changing with oil, gas, electricity and emissions prices fluctuating on a daily basis and determined by a variety of interlinked market forces. Which are these forces, how do they affect prices in a range of energy products, how do they interlink? Given so much uncertainty, can we predict market behaviour and energy prices in the mid to long term? What are the market trends in 2H 2022 and how will markets shape next year? These are only some of the questions that will be addressed by an elite group of speakers who have built a career tracking the complex energy markets of today.

But, apart from prices, today’s energy manager is confronted with so many other decisions relevant to the fast-changing energy landscape. A number of such decisions are closely related to energy infrastructure and the choices one has to make in terms of investment in order to maintain transmission and distribution grids and telecommunication channels open and in good working and capable to respond to consumer needs on a 24h basis. As digitalisation takes full hold and will ultimately determine the full range of operations for providers and customers alike there is a need to plan and prepare for the anticipated market changes. With AI entering fast into the picture today’s energy manager must be in a position to anticipate its impact in terms of market operation and future development.

Although the present seminar may not answer everything, it will nevertheless make the energy manager aware of all the variants at play and will inform on a number of contentious issues. Indeed, identifying the various possible pitfalls in modern energy markets is another key function which the seminar will aim to unravel thus providing participants with much needed foresight.

This online seminar will take place from May 3 - 31, 2022, between 17:00 – 20:00 (Athens time). An invitation link and instructions will be sent to participants upon registration. A laptop/pc, a web camera and a microphone are necessary.

The deadline for submitting applications is Wednesday, April 27, 2022.

Upon completion of the seminar, attendees will receive a certificate of attendance by IENE.
