Many people became painfully aware that the energy industry is a very important and systemically relevant industry during the gas shortage situation in 2022. Competitively organized energy trading ensures - so the theory and the claim - welfare, innovation and climate protection through the efficient allocation of scarce primary energy sources. The importance and market design of energy trading for the implementation of the energy transition and the entry into the hydrogen economy are currently being discussed.
Anyone interested in learning more about the complexity of energy trading is cordially invited to join us on Wednesday, May 31, 2023 in building Z VII, lecture hall 112 at 2:15 pm .
