Product release: new Price Forward Curve for Portugal

This tool helps energy professionals manage risk, budget effectively, and optimize trading strategies, particularly in Portugal's dynamic renewable energy landscape. The PFC offers valuable insights for stakeholders involved in energy generation, trading, and consumption.

Understanding Price Forward Curves 

A PFC represents the future prices of energy commodities over a specified period. It is constructed using current market data, historical trends, and advanced modelling techniques to project future market conditions. These curves can be used when managing risk, budgeting, and optimising trading strategies in the energy market. 

Montel Risk primarily offers Power Forward Curves PFCs for the European market, sourcing data from the region's leading electricity exchanges. For example, we use the European Energy Exchange (EEX) for our German curves and the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) for the English curves, among others. For our newest PFC covering the Portuguese market, we source our data from the OMIP (Iberian Energy Derivatives Exchange), which is the primary exchange for electricity trading in Portugal.
