Rising geopolitical risk in Europe is changing the energy landscape, adding new constraints and additional risks to gas and power portfolios. While Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is shifting supply-and-demand dynamics across Europe, regulatory shifts are set to bring in sweeping changes in several jurisdictions as markets face the rise of renewables and the end of subsidies.
Topics discussed include:
- Forecasting major risks and planing strategically amid uncertainty
- The longer-term impact of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine
- The impact of upcoming regulatory changes on energy portfolios
- Gaining real-time insight into risk exposures
- Re-examining risk appetite
- Evaluating the impacts of events on counterparties.
