3 The vision of Europe s energy traders EFET Vision We foresee sustainable energy markets throughout Europe, in which traders efficiently intermediate in the value chain on the basis of clear wholesale price signals, thereby optimising supply and demand and enhancing security of supply, to the overall long-term benefit of the economy and of society. 3

6 The role of EFET Activities & Organisation For more information visit:
7 Actively improving the wholesale energy market The EFET mission involves improving conditions for energy trading in Europe and fostering the development of an open, liquid and transparent European wholesale energy market Information transparency Through better: Data exchange Products and procedures Laws Regulation Taxation European Contracts Organised market Advocacy for liberalised markets Promotion of energy trading in Europe Standardisation of contracts 7
8 Value of the wholesale market Why is the wholesale market important? Trading can optimize the market by creating: Efficiencies across regions and countries Efficiencies between fuels used in generation (gas, coal, hydro, nuclear, wind, etc.) Efficiencies by virtue of play of inter-related products (e.g. weather derivatives; emission allowances; transmission rights) Efficiencies through financial markets and derivatives Efficiencies stimulated by price signals of new products 8
9 Formation of markets Criteria for Positive Market Development Market Confidence 1 Entry of New Players Diverse Players 2 Standard Products Standard Contracts 4 3 Liquidity and Choice of Products Any action creating market confidence within companies such as reliable price discovery, neutral price reporting, entry of new and diverse market particpants will help liquidity. A market cannot develop based on incumbent and vertically integrated stryctures as they hamber choice and flexibility. 9
10 What are the conditions for building a market? Characteristics mature wholesale market 1 0 Standardisation Liquidity Standard-Products and Standard Contracts: Base: Mo-Su: 0:00 24:00h Peak: Mo-Fr : 8:00 20:00h Physical: Master Contract EFET Financial: Master Contract ISDA Example: EEX-Futures Market multiple x consumption in DE 5 Market Maker: continuously simultaneous bids & offers Transparency Trading data: Prices & Volumes PXs & Broker Fundamental data: Generation data (incl. RES) e.g. EEX Transparency Platform; Nordpool; Grid data: transmission data ENTSO-Vista
11 What needs to be standardised? Products Duration (week, month, quarter, year) Firm/non-firm delivery Gas quality within same country Product descriptions, everyone needs to know what exactly is bought/sold Contractual Terms Operational Processes Example: Confirmation matching IT Standards REMIT Transaction Reporting -example: err (
12 Standardisation = Engine for Liquidity 12
13 Standardisation allows Risk Management Energy Traders need One Agreement across many countries to effectively manage their legal risks EFET Agreement offers international proven (!) standard solution across many jurisdictions Insular solutions lead to delay in product standardisation and create obstacles for market developments Standard products allow liquidity in trading and pricing is based on standard conditions 13
14 1 4 Formation of markets Contractual Standardisation = Condition For Market Development EFET Standard Agreement enjoys market acceptance in Europe
15 The Challenge: right agreement for each type of transaction 15

21 3 Concluding and Confirming Individual Contracts The contract can be concluded in any form of communication Contract becomes legally binding from the time the commercial terms are agreed Confirmation merely documents an agree transaction; standard confirmation templates Many companies send confirmation for each transaction (regardless of whether they are Seller or Buyer); electronic matching for flow deals common 3.4: Only very few companies maintain authorised trader lists (administratively too burdensome)
22 6 Delivery, Measurement, Transportation and Risk Seller represents that it has right to transfer to Buyer full entitlement to the gas, free and clear of encumbrances Measurement of gas in accordance with nomination and allocation arrangements at the Delivery Point Seller bears risk and bear all costs up to the Delivery Point, Buyer at and from the Delivery Point
23 7 Risk and Force Majeure An event beyond reasonable control of Party claiming Force Majeure that it could not reasonably have avoided or overcome makes it impossible for the claiming party to perform its delivery or acceptance obligations
24 10 Termination for Material Reason INSOLVENCY EVENT: Law of the incorporation of counterparty applies not law chosen to govern Agreement Close-out netting enforceable? EFET provides up to date netting opinions TERMINATION AMOUNT: Calculation in accordance with 11 Costs (Losses + Gains) No replacement transaction required
25 Close-Out Netting Close-out netting is process by which, following an early termination of the Agreement: open transactions between two parties are terminated; each terminated transaction is valued; and all the termination values, together with any unpaid amounts, are reduced to a single net amount owed by one party to the other. Reduces Credit Risk can reduce exposure in close-out as exposed only up to the net amount of mutual obligations can reduce collateral-posting requirements by netting collateral requirements across agreements Expands Credit Lines Reduces Regulatory Capital Requirements regulators are willing to require a lower amount of capital to cover transactions if netting arrangements are in place
