Pieces of the Puzzle: The Dutch Short-Term Power Market Ecosystem
Our recent post on the Dutch short-term power market ecosystem got more traction than we expected. We realized that a lot of people want to talk about this in more depth than a LinkedIn thread allows for.
So we're organizing an event! On 29 October, in Amsterdam, we're getting together with partners and market participants to spend a day on topics that kept coming up:
What do you actually need for direct market access?
What are the different routes and business cases for IPPs and optimizers?
BRP status: when does it make sense, and when doesn't it?
Program
13:00 - 13:30 | Walk-in
13:30 | Welcome and introduction by Michiel Lensink, CEO of Etpa. After this, Anouk van de Stadt (Krachtwerk) will present about the key decisions parties face when entering the market. To be or not to be a BRP? Build or buy your forecast? Trade yourself or work with a partner?
14:30 - 15:00 | Coffee break
15:00 | Jean-Paul Harreman (Montel) on the most relevant recent trends in the short-term power markets followed by a panel discussion with Renno Welberg (Eddy Grid), Erik van Boekel (Balanz) and an expert from Edmij on their role in the ecosystem and the developments shaping it, moderated by Robert Bancso.
16:15 - 18:30 | Drinks and snacks
