Through its specialist brand Energy Risk, Risk.net promotes best practice in the complex world of energy risk management. For 30 years, it has tracked key developments: from the arrival of quantitative models from financial markets to today’s cutting-edge, sector-specific tools; from the highs and lows of the oil price to the spread of carbon trading and renewables. Managing energy risk has a new urgency today due to the imperatives of the energy transition. It is vital that producers, consumers, traders and investors access the information they need to understand the risks and opportunities lurking throughout the energy system.
