The large-scale development of renewable energy production prompts us to rethink the structure of the modelling of pricing processes and how we conceive financial risks in the energy markets. Because this development accentuates the impact on market prices of global warming, better consideration of this link should enable portfolio managers exposed to the energy markets to more clearly understand the risks and to determine optimal strategies for hedging them. In this context, the current challenges concern: (1) the definition of models suited to risk assessment, measurement and hedging applications; (2) development of forecasting tools, both of climate variables and market prices; and (3) effective statistical estimation procedures.

This thematic semester, titled “Statistics for the energy markets”, aims to present the recent thinking and developments on this topic, and to identify areas for research and collaboration between practitioners in the industry and academic researchers. It is supported by the “Finance and sustainable growth” Labex of the Institut Louis Bachelier.
