We have considerable expertise in the power system and always have up-to-date forecasts of how the balance will be for the next few hours. The forecasts are updated when new information comes in and all available markets are regularly used to keep costs to a minimum. We receive production forecasts from our producing clients and offer a web-based system for reporting production plans.

We also have systems for automated rescheduling throughout the operating day. On a weekly basis we produce a settlement of the client's purchases and sales per hour with data on consumption, physical agreements, production and trading of Elspot, Elbas and regulated power.

In collaboration with our system suppliers, Markedskraft has developed customized programs for the efficient running of settlement and reconciliation processes. Data are received from the TSO and network owners and this is also verified in the settlement process.

Our clients can access their own data in Markedskraft's database via the Internet. The data can be downloaded in Excel format in hourly, weekly and monthly periods for any date range.

Trading in energy-related, financial contracts - Currency hedging - Trading under authorisation/trading by order - Trading in energy certificates.

Through our portfolio management service, Markedskraft acts as representative for, and conducts transactions through our portfolio clients' accounts.
There are two different approaches to handling transactions:
  • Clearing client solution
  • Non-clearing (commission) client solution
The clearing client solution means that a clearing agreement is established with Nord Pool Spot and NASDAQ OMX Commodities respectively, and with the local Transmission System Operator where that is needed. This solution provides a highly transparent pricing model where all transactions are agreed upon and settled at market price without the risk of additional cost elements.

Counterparty risk is also eliminated since all agreements have NASDAQ OMX Clearing as the counterparty and there is no trading with bilateral contracting parties.

This solution requires that the client provides collateral equivalent to the size of the transactions.

The commission client solution is an alternative trading set-up where an external party takes over the counterparty relationships and collateral requirements. This solution does not require the same level of collateral and the client is given the opportunity to receive a total price for all services.

We offer the following advisory services: Strategy development and risk management - Custom strategy workshops - Market information and advice - Consumption hedging – Production price hedging and portfolio management.
Our advice is an important tool for transferring necessary expertise to our clients. The advisory services include current information about the electricity market in the form of relevant analytical reports and advice from a personal portfolio manager.
Our own fundamental analysis is used as the basis for decisions on financial trading. We have developed a comprehensive set of reports to cover all trading information needs, and this is available through our client website. In this way, clients can obtain updated reports any time they wish.
