Join us at Clarion Hotel Oslo in Oslo or Online from anywhere in the world for an introduction to Europe’s leading short- and long-term power markets.

This course also serves as an excellent refresher course, covering all recent and relevant changes in the energy markets, as well as giving an overview of potential future developments.

The Physical and Financial Power Market course sees experts from Nord Pool and other leading power sector organizations, providing valuable insights and answers to your most pressing questions. There will, as always, also be guest presenters speaking on hot topics.  

Held in English, the course will unravel the complexity of the power market, whether you are a trader, investor or working in the back or front office. It will be equally helpful for those with a more general interest in the increasingly important energy sector, such as lawmakers, energy regulators and students.
