Mr. Ferenc Arató
(managing director,
JAS Budapest Zrt.):
Most of the deals on
the Slovenian market
are still concluded
bilaterally but BSP
provides indication for
further deals although
it can be considered
only on short term
market.
How long have you been present on power markets
in SEE? How is JAS positioned in the electricity
markets of the SEE region?
The JAS Company Group has a close to ten years
experience in the electricity market in Europe. JAS
Budapest Zrt. was established in 1992 in Hungary of 100%
Hungarian ownership and started the electricity trading
when the liberalisation of the Hungarian electricity
market allowed this kind of trading. In the coming years
JAS has developed its wholesale trading network in the
neighbouring countries. We are actively trading in
Slovenia, Germany, the Czech Republic, the Slovak
Republic, Hungary, Romania and Serbia. In order to
develop our international wholesale activities JAS Energy
Trading s.r.o. was established in 2010.
You became a member of BSP SouthPool at the end
of last year. Why did you decide to make this step?
Were your initial expectations met?
JAS decided to take part in the BSP power exchange after
the 1st 9 month of BSP's operation. We do find BSP as an
adequate platform of trading activity boosting
transparency of the market. Most of the deals are still
concluded bilaterally but BSP provides indication for
further deals although it can be considered only on short
term market.
What would be your suggestions regarding future
development of Slovenian electricity market in
terms of i.e. additional market segments (intraday
market, derivatives market), products, regional
cooperation, set up of direct interconnection line
between Hungary and Slovenia etc. from the
member point of view?
Compared to the Hungarian power exchange we do
believe that further developments would be welcome by
traders. Not only spot trading for hours than trading for
future products. This kind of development would also
ensure the transparency of the Slovenian electricity
market and motivate traders for more intensive activity
on the market.
As JAS is also present in Serbia, we appreciate BSP efforts
to start the hourly auction trading inside Serbia. Although
there is lack of liquidity of the Serbian trading we hope it
will achieve the same quantity as in Slovenia.

The Serbian electricity
Day-ahead market
In March 2012 BSP SouthPool started with provision
of clearing services for its participants licensed to
trade with electricity in Serbia.
Total volume provided into BSP clearing in the
period from 01.03.2012 to 13.04.2011 was 33 MWh.
Market participants incentive at this stage was to
test scheduling and clearing procedures embedded
on designated market. From the time being 8
companies were able to use BSP clearing facilities
developed for Serbian market (Alpiq energija RS,
Danske Commodities Serbia, Statkraft Markets,
GEN-I, HSE Balkan Energy, E.ON energy trading
Serbia, PLC Interenergo and Rudnap group). Few
weeks later Ezpada and EVN Trading South East
Europe EAD joined them. In the first two weeks of
April two more companies are expected to take part
in the provided service.
