Energy Risk – Prague
I attended, spoke at and moderated a panel at the Energy Risk conference in Prague on Central & Eastern Europe last week. The event was very well attended and there was some very good discussion around risk management and the CEE region – which recently has been a center of industry attention.
For me the speakers dinner was the most rewarding as I had a very illuminating conversation with David Kucera, CEO of the Prague Power Exchange about their progress in establishing an exchange in the Czech Republic and the impact of local politics on the initiative. Additionally, I discussed a variety of industry issues with the CRO and Head of Trading of CEZ, the Czech Utility and Trader, as well as with Vincent Kaminski – ex- head of trading at Enron and now a University Professor.
