EUROPEAN ENERGY COMPOSITION
EUROPEAN EXPERIENCE Liberalised Developing Reforming Closed The majority of EU countries have liberalised electricity and gas markets. In CEE and Russia electricity is becoming a competitive market with regulation in place Some Eastern EU countries (Balkans) have less liberalised markets and the are still working on the legal framework
FORWARD AND FUTURES MARKET EVOLUTION The DEREGULATION of power and gas has supported the creation of the wholesale market. The creation of multilateral BILATERAL trading aided by BROKERS, who help to create trading opportunities between counterparties. These trades start to be reported more widely, thus creating the beginnings of a transparent market. With price disclosure comes price discovery which in turn attracts more players to the market, often at this stage smaller physical traders and the first tentative moves by financial players. EXCHANGES provider standardisation and facilitate greater access to the market, especially by non-physical players.
