Paolo Carabelli
(Power Trading Manager at Electrade):
Slovenian Market is a very
important link between
Eastern and Western Europe.
Electrade became a member of BSP SouthPool as early as
during its set up phase. What are the benefits and
opportunities of your being a member and actively
participating at BSP?
Electrade became member of BSP in December 2009. Bsp
SouthPool was a great opportunity for us to be directly
present in the Slovenian Market, which is a very important
link between Eastern and Western Europe. In recent years the
BSP rise in both numbers of members and volumes has been
very significant.
You have been elected as president of BSP SouthPool
Members Chamber. What are your expectations for
developments in the Slovenian power exchange for the
future?
It's a great honour for me to be elected as president of BSP South
Pool Members Chamber. My expectation is that the liquidity of
intraday markets will increase over the years and I would hope
that this will create HUBs in the countries close to Slovenia such
as Croatia and Serbia.
What are your expectations regarding Europe day-ahead
market integration?
The integration of European electricity markets can bring about
major efficiency gains in welfare terms to both European
consumers and industries alike. I think that we are in a good
position, in about 2-3 years we should see market integration all
through Europe.
Renewables is actual topic in European electricity
market. How do you see the future trading regarding
variable production from renewables?
Yes, Renewables is a very important topic in European electricity
market. Renewable production is essential in terms of efficiency
and lower system costs, I think that in the future the right mix
between the thermal power plant and the renewables should
be found, in order to ensure during critical conditions (high
demand or low demand) and the security of the electrical
system overall.
