Strong, established secondary market for energy generating assets, which can help provide liquidity across Elm Trading’s wider trading interests
Background to Hydro Energy
Levels of electricity produced through this technology can be forecast with a relatively high level of accuracy. Furthermore, hydro energy provides a natural weather diversifier to solar and wind assets.
The UK successfully hit its 2020 target for carbon emissions and continues to work towards a net zero target by 2050.¹ This is expected to strengthen support for clean energy generation to ensure we hit this target.
