As an independent energy trader, Alpiq provides large customers with access to electricity exchanges. Acting as an "energy bank", we handle trading on their behalf. And deliver models that allow them to optimise their energy procurement. Our partners benefit from our expertise in portfolio and risk management.

Alpiq trades in electricity, gas, coal and oil products, standardised and structured products, and emissions certificates. As well as conducting transactions on European energy exchanges and engaging in bilateral trading, we are continually expanding our leading role as an independent energy trader within Europe. In our business model, trading combines the value-adding stages of generation and sales with the liberalised wholesale market. Our mission is to support trading and sales in the most important markets with production from our own power stations, in order to assure electricity procurement and reduce risk.
