In the European Union, under the licenses that we hold, TRANSENERGO is entitled to operate directly in 5 markets (Romania, Hungary, Germany, Austria and Bulgaria), but also in neighboring countries through contractual partners.
Our company concluded EFET Agreements with most professional electricity traders, local supply companies and power producers.
This way, TRANSENERGO has full coverage of the regional electricity markets and a deep understanding of the fundamental drivers and dynamics within the countries belonging to CEE/SEE region.

It is important to have an understanding of dynamics of electricity price in order to develop effective trading and risk management strategy. The company’s management is actively involved in mitigating the trading risks that TRANSENERGO is exposed.

Such comprehensive coverage enables our company to monitor and analyze interconnector capacities, flows and price differentials, in order to more effectively identify and seize opportunities. This data, combined with the physical resources, underpins our ability to hedge market risks, maximizing our business potential and the capitals involved.
