Webinar summary
The Wholesale Energy Market Update, presented by SmartestEnergy’s Sean Langford and Fanos Shiamishis, explored how current geopolitical disruption is affecting global energy markets and what this means for energy procurement and risk management.
Using the Russia-Ukraine energy crisis as a benchmark, the session examined the impact of Middle East tensions and disruption around the Strait of Hormuz on oil, LNG and European gas markets. It also considered longer-term implications for global supply, shipping and pricing, before providing practical guidance on managing market, liquidity and procurement risk.
