Optimisation & Trading

We are active on the major European exchanges and bilateral markets, trading standard and structured products in electricity, gas, carbon and green certificates. These activities are backed by professional services, providing market access and asset portfolio management.

Roots in Switzerland – active in Europe

Our trading expertise is strengthened by the resources and geographical reach of Alpiq. Focusing on the most important markets, we contribute to managing generation from Alpiq’s power stations, securing electricity procurement and reducing risk.

Commodities and products

Our trading activities include gas, oil products and fuels, as well as emission allowances and green certificates. We offer a comprehensive range of standardised products, including base, peak, off-peak, blocks and single hours. Alpiq also manages structured products, e.g. swings, virtual power plants (VPPs), hourly options and spread options.

Our asset traders use the flexibility of Alpiq’s assets to enhance the value of trading. The assets include power plants in Switzerland, Italy, France and Spain, as well as storage capacities and long-term contracts.
