Trading European Power Markets – Sizing the Impact of Gas Volatility and Data Center Growth
Trading European Power Markets
Sizing the Impact of Gas Volatility and Data Center Growth
An industry event organized by the Commodity Trading Club in collaboration with Rystad Energy and IG Prime.
Hosted at the IG offices in Geneva, the session will bring together professionals from power and energy trading, natural gas, commodities, finance, infrastructure, and related sectors to examine two increasingly important forces shaping European electricity markets: gas-price volatility and the rapid growth of data-center electricity demand.
European power markets are evolving amid changing gas-market fundamentals, accelerating electrification, renewable integration, and new sources of structural electricity demand. At the same time, the expansion of data centers and energy-intensive digital infrastructure is raising important questions around demand growth, generation requirements, grid constraints, price formation, and market volatility.
Through expert insights from Rystad Energy and industry discussion, participants will explore how these developments are influencing European power-market dynamics, what they could mean for traders and market participants, and how the interaction between gas and electricity markets may evolve.
