Liberalization, increasing transparency and market integration are creating new opportunities to trade electricity all over the continent. Growing electricity exchanges, market-based access to interconnectors and auctions of generation capacity are providing new inroads and niches into previously untouchable markets.

However, in a liberalizing market, where some barriers to trade are rapidly eroded and new information becomes available, opportunities can be exploited only if market fundamentals and dynamics are well analyzed and understood.
