(More) This paper on e-commerce opportunities for energy trading is an analysis assessing developments of electronic trading platforms, both for exchange-traded futures and over-the-counter (OTC) derivative instruments in a rapidly changing market. The energy industry is significantly conducive to the use of risk management tools due to its underlying price volatility and is a logical candidate for the use of an array of electronic trading platforms. This paper provides regional analyses of market developments (North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific) and implications for the ancillary markets of emissions, weather, and bandwidth. It explores the market drives for the changing face of energy trading. (This paper by Peter C. Fusaro and Jeremy Wilcox, “Energy E-Commerce,” was published as Occasional Paper 32.
