Energy trading refers to the purchase, sale and marketing of energy such as electricity, gas or heat on various energy markets. This includes, for example, short-term spot market transactions, long-term supply contracts or trading in energy certificates.
Energy trading takes place across various market segments. These include, in particular, spot markets for short-term electricity supplies as well as futures markets for long-term hedging of energy prices. A specialised sub-area is arbitrage trading, in which short-term price differences on the electricity market are specifically exploited.

Companies with battery storage or a PV system with storage in particular can respond flexibly to electricity prices and unlock additional revenue opportunities.
With the growing share of renewable energies, energy trading is becoming ever more important. Flexible technologies such as storage make it possible to shift electricity in time and make optimal use of market prices.
