Our gas traders play a vital role in ensuring the security and efficiency of energy supply across Europe. It enables the balancing of supply and demand in real time, supports price discovery, and facilitates the integration of renewable energy by providing flexible backup capacity. Through active participation in gas markets, we help maintain system stability and contribute to the decarbonisation of the energy sector.

Why is gas trading important?

For consumers, gas trading helps secure competitive prices and reliable supply by enabling access to a diverse range of sources and delivery options. For producers, it offers market access, liquidity, and the ability to hedge price risks. Our trading activities create a more transparent and efficient market that benefits all participants by reducing volatility and enhancing resilience.

Gas trading involves buying and selling natural gas on wholesale markets, both bilaterally and via exchanges. We trade across timeframes, from long-term contracts to intraday markets, ensuring that gas flows to where it is needed most. Our traders use advanced analytics and real-time data to optimise positions, manage risk, and respond to market dynamics.
