SE Blue Renewables (SEBR) had invested in the largest onshore wind portfolio in Denmark, with an exposure to the Nordic power market. ESP Consulitng supported SEBR in the development and implementation of a risk policy and governance structure, which involved:
- Leading and facilitating definition of the company’s risk appetite;
- Development of a risk framework and risk policy for the wind portfolio;
- Implementation of a governance structure with clearly defined responsibilities and segregation of duties, including organisational risk structure; and
- Compliance monitoring.
We also assisted the wind department in developing and implementing a complete setup for trading of wind exposures in the power and certificate markets, including:
- Development of a methodology and model for calculation of long term exposures for the wind portfolio
- Development and implementation of a deal capture system for power
- Defining key processes for trading, portfolio management, middle office and back office
