European Energy Market Regulations V3.1

Big Compliance comes to Energy Trading
The energy and broader commodity-trading world is in the process of its latest stage in its maturity:
That of “Big Compliance”.
The rules that most energy traders will have to implement not only require a great deal of IT work,
but also some process re-engineering and an acceptance of the fact that compliance will occupy a
significantly larger component of overall activities and budgets on an on-going basis. One can argue
as to whether this is appropriate for an industry that many feel is “non-systemic”, but as things stand
most of these changes will happen with the result that industry business processes, practices, the IT
landscape and possibly even the players, will change.
