Most energy companies know that governments will—sooner or later—impose limits on their emissions of greenhouse gases. A small but growing number— including two oil majors and some big U.S. utilities—are already preparing for the inevitable. They are taking voluntary steps to reduce the amounts of CO2 and pollutants their activities generate, and experimenting with market-based and internal programs for trading emissions credits for multiple greenhouse gases. Such proactive approaches do more than lend needed certainty to corporate environmental planning; they also promise to give their ‘green’ adopters a competitive edge, in the form of early practical experience with emissions measurement and trading and compliance risk management.]]> no@spam.com (Anne Ku) Sat, 29 Dec 2007 14:13:08 CET http://www.erasmusenergy.com/articles/136/1/Volunteering-to-fight-global-warming/Page1.html http://www.erasmusenergy.com/articles/8/1/The-art-of-forecasting-demand/Page1.html Published in: Global energy business

The art of electricity price forecasting bears little resemblance to the utility practice it evolved from: trying to predict fuel costs. To predict prices, utilities and energy traders and wholesalers must resort to modeling electricity markets—no easy task. Price forecasting has become increasingly necessary and more complex for all market participants, as is evident from the variety of approaches being used today.]]> no@spam.com (Anne Ku) Thu, 20 Sep 2007 13:04:05 CEST http://www.erasmusenergy.com/articles/7/1/Forecasting-to-understand-uncertainty-in-electricity-prices/Page1.html
