White Papers Responding To Continual Energy Market Change | Page 2

INTRODUCTION
The European power and gas industry is currently going through a period of
very rapid change that has potentially far reaching consequences. While change
is certainly no stranger to the industry, it requires players in the industry to constantly re-evaluate their business process and technology infrastructures in order to adapt and thrive. Examples of the drivers for change include:
/ Changes in the regional and national political landscape in terms of both
environmental issues and the overall structure of the industry,
/ A host of new regulatory and governance regulations,
/ Decreased profit margins and,
/ Major shifts in all aspects of technology from generation to computing.
Energy companies will need to rapidly respond to these changes and this
response will certainly include a review and perhaps upgrade of their Energy
Trading and Risk Management (ETRM) and related software.
