Axpo UK & Ireland

💡 Another successful RE-Source conference has come to an end. 👌🏼 Last week, Ross McHardy from Axpo UK & Ireland joined #RESource2024 in Amsterdam to discuss trends and dynamics in #renewableEnergy sourcing and innovative #energysolutions for renewable energy procurement. It was a productive conference and great team effort. In total, some 30 experts from Axpo Netherlands, Axpo France, Axpo Benelux, Axpo Nordic, Axpo Deutschland, Axpo Energy Romania, Axpo Iberia, Axpo Italia, Türkiye, Hungary and beyond were onsite.   💭 "Southeast Europe is an exciting market but every organisation has specific needs, its own purchasing time horizon and a very different risk appetite. Thanks to our large portfolio and in-depth expertise, #Axpo is one of the few organisations that can bring it all together. We are not a broker, we truly understand local challenges and can systematically manage the whole range of risks,” emphasised Domenico Franceschino, Head of Western and Eastern Europe Origination, in the "Market zoom: Croatia, Greece, Bulgaria" session.   ☕ Thank you to all those who stopped by our stand for a coffee, a handshake or a chat about #PowerPurchaseAgreements, managing risks or the latest energy market trends.   🗓️ See you next year!

In the latest episode of our Energy Voices podcast, Domenico De Luca, Head of Trading & Sales at #Axpo, discusses his lifelong fascination with #energymarkets⚡, unpicks their complexities, and explains why trading and sales play such a crucial role for Axpo and its customers. Energy trading combines everything from mathematics, technology 🛠️, economics 💼 and engineering, to meteorology and geopolitics 🌍, Domenico explains. On any given day, external factors such as weather, world events reported in the news and politics can have a significant impact on market movements and strategic trading decisions. As an active participant, Axpo draws on its extensive knowledge, experience and expertise to gain an in-depth understanding of market movements and advises clients on how best to manage their energy needs. 🌐 Domenico is a great believer in the integrated European electricity market and thinks this has proven to be unique and resilient, especially in times of crisis. A success story from which Switzerland and Axpo benefit, over the past 10 years the trading and sales division has accounted for approximately 50% of the company's financial results. But for Domenico De Luca it’s about more than just numbers. For him, energy trading is a vital factor in ensuring that the energy supply of the future is affordable, climate-neutral, and secure. https://lnkd.in/dKCZJYMV

🍅 🥒 🥕 Growing business: helping French greenhouse farmers. Dependent on government support for their energy needs, greenhouse farmers in France have struggled to maintain profitability and plan their future activities. As subsidies for cogeneration are gradually set to be phased out by 2030, Axpo France has stepped in to offer long-term fixed-price energy contracts that secure the farmers’ future by hedging against volatile markets. In a nutshell 👇🏼 1️⃣ Running a greenhouse is an expensive endeavour, requiring around 400 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of heat for each cubic meter. 2️⃣ Since 2020, #natgas prices, ranging from €30 to €150 per megawatt-hour, have significantly impacted farmers' production costs. This caused energy costs to vary from as low as €0.7 to as high as €3.5 per kilogram.  3️⃣ #Axpo enabled farmers to lock in fixed energy prices for periods ranging from 5 to 10 years. We offered an innovative way to secure prices for both the gas they consume and the electricity they produce with cogeneration. 4️⃣ "Partnering with Axpo has transformed our operations. Thanks to fixed energy prices, we can plan our production without the fear of volatility" said Anne Claire GOYER from Le Potager de Jade. 5️⃣ Our strategic focus on risk management is transforming agricultural energy management for French greenhouse farmers. Axpo is softening the economic impact of the gradual phase-out of subsidies and promoting greater long-term financial stability and independence. 🔗 Read the story of this innovative partnership: https://lnkd.in/emnETEGc © 📸 Emeline Boileau Photographie 📸

🔥 What’s heating up in the UK #EnergyMarkets? This July, UK #NatGas prices have fallen due to high inventory levels and increased supply from Norway and domestic sources. However, there’s more to the story: ➡️ High temperatures in Southeast Europe have pushed up #power prices 🌡️, while rising energy demand in Asia has spiked global coal prices ⛏️. ➡️ Financial instability 📉 and geopolitical tensions 🌍 are adding to market uncertainty, with the U.S. Federal Reserve Board expected to delay major rate cuts. ➡️ European #LNG supply remains stable but poses a bullish risk due to high import dependence. Read the key insights by Andy Sommer, Head of Fundamental #Analysis, #Modelling & #Meteorology and his team in the August edition of the European Energy Markets Monthly. 🔗 #Axpoanalysis: https://lnkd.in/eEUpJ6WR   #energyanalysis #marketanalysis #EnergyTrading 

💪 With Paris Olympics nostalgia setting in, we are reflecting on the hard work we put into our training for the two races a few from the Axpo UK & Ireland office took part in last month (and grateful that the weather didn’t get too hot until after the events!)   The JP Morgan Corporate Challenge in Battersea Park (5.6 km), and the Standard Chartered Great City Run (5 km), through the City of London, taking in iconic buildings such as St Paul’s Cathedral and the Bank of England.  🔥 Now that we have recovered, we are all fired up with personal bests to beat for next year’s events! Congratulations to Steven McCarthy, Terri Butler, Brennon Lobo, Andrew McArthur, David Meade, Chris Fairholm, Jason LaBrooy, Tom Newham, Aaron D., Maria Dulea, Keith Deacon, Graham North, Aleksandr Holota, FCCA, AMCT, ADIT, Kumbi Maponga, Theodoros Theodorou, Chris Panton for your participation 🎉 #JPMorganCorporateChallenge #StandardCharteredGreatCityRun #AxpoUK #charityrun

Do you know what a #PowerPurchaseAgreement (PPA) is and why they're so critical for a more sustainable future? 🤔 📽️ Watch this video to learn how PPAs work, the various types and benefits, and how they support #RenewableEnergy developers and investors, while driving the #EnergyTransition. 📈 Long-term #PPAs are gaining traction in the energy sector due to decreasing production costs and the reduction of state subsidies. With more than 15+ years of experience in PPAs, #Axpo is leading the way in this growing sector. 🌍 Our #origination teams worldwide and at #AxpoUK are eager to help your organisation achieve its #sustainability goals.

🚀 We're delighted to announce that Flexitricity and #Axpo have launched operations at our co-located solar and storage site in Scotland! 🌞🔋 Axpo UK & Ireland is managing the #PowerPurchaseAgreement for the #SolarEnergy, while #Flexitricity optimises the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) using the industry's first behind-the-meter Asset Meter System IDs (AMSIDs). ➡️ This partnership lets us maximise efficiency and access various #EnergyMarkets (including wholesale trading and balancing services), as Axpo's experts dynamically optimise the site's energy use. Together, we're "pioneering innovative energy solutions that drive the low-carbon, smart energy revolution."💡🌍 “This unique arrangement with Flexitricity once again demonstrates Axpo’s willingness and ability to partner with third-parties to provide innovative solutions to clients’ needs.” said Rob Bullyment, Senior Originator at Axpo UK.

🗨 "We spend a considerable amount of time with smaller clients that require more hand‑holding, and that’s one of the things that I’m proud of." says #Axpo UK Managing Director Steven McCarthy. ⛵ We've emerged stronger from challenging times. While 2022 was turbulent for the European #EnergyMarkets, 2023 has seen increased stability. However, Risk.net notes that scarce liquidity and sudden volatility continued to challenge both consumers and suppliers. 📈 In this in-depth Energy Risk interview, Steve discusses the UK’s 2023 market challenges and the team's top strategies for client support, including robust credit, liquidity, and competitive pricing in the #NatGas and #power markets. 💡 🔗 Discover Steve’s key insights and what’s next for us: 🌟 https://lnkd.in/eAPm-jHj #EnergyTrading #AxpoUK #EnergyNews #Commodities
