Eka Energy Trading andRisk Management

CommodityManagmentReimagined

OverviewEnergy markets are inherently characterized by complexity. Shrinking margins, price fluctuations and increased volatility are pressuring energy businesses to increase efficiency in every area of their business and cut down reaction times.

Energy businesses generate overwhelming amounts of data that get stored in isolated systems, thus creating data islands. Extracting actionable insights for trading from these data islands using legacy ETRM systems and spreadsheets is a cumbersome task. Incomplete understanding of this data leads to missed revenue opportunities, ineffective coordination in the supply chain and poor risk management.

Each asset class in the energy industry are governed by unique characteristics owing to differences in their production, processing, pricing and valuation, transportation, taxation, and application.
