At Cobblestone Energy we are experts in trading power to support the efficient balancing of the European power grids.
Founded in 2017 in the UK, we are now headquartered in Dubai, UAE and operate in the European short-term power markets. We match the interests of power supply and demand in terms of timing and place of delivery. Our specialised trading teams apply in-depth market knowledge based on innovative analysis of short-term supply and demand in the European gas and power markets. We have developed a suite of leading edge technology which helps us generate insight into short-term supply and demand balances and execute our trading strategies 24/7. Through this process we fulfill a critical role in helping balance the European power grids to maintain a stable supply to consumers.
We currently trade power

WE HELP SYSTEM OPERATORS NAVIGATE THE COMPLEXITY OF THE ENERGY TRANSITION.
The increasing global demand for electricity and a net zero vision by 2050 has put unprecedented challenges on the European Gas and Power markets. The UK TSO – National Grid faces increasing complexities in meeting the ever-changing demand from the UK with the intermittent production from renewables. With our unique trading methodologies based on innovative analysis of the market data, we are able to predict supply and demand imbalances ahead of time and help the system operators to efficiently balance the system.
WE HELP GENERATORS MANAGE THEIR PRICE RISK.
As a result of the increased renewables capacity in the generation mix, their inherent intermittency in the absence of storage can result in intense periods of volatility in the nearby markets. This poses an increased need for effective risk management, especially for renewable players in matching the changing power demands. With our advanced capabilities as a liquidity provider, we can take on managing this risk and better match power supply and demand by time and place of delivery.
