Skipping Stone Presents at TOCOM Workshop
Retail, Trading, and Generator Companies’ Use of Electricity Futures Markets
Tokyo, Japan – September 4, 2019 – TOCOM has invited Skipping Stone’s CEO Peter Weigand and Max Duckworth to speak at their Electricity Futures Workshops in Tokyo today. The workshops are focused on providing Japanese retailers, trading companies and generation companies an education on how to use the new electricity futures market, which is opening September 17th.
Peter Weigand has extensive experience with futures and other forward market instruments in the U.S., U.K., and AU markets. He has worked with many retailers on their hedging and risk management strategies. As the former CEO of Commerce Energy, a large U.S. retailer, Peter led the adoption of Commerce’s hedging and use of futures to successfully improve margins.
Max Duckworth, a member of the Skipping Stone Global Team, is a former head of global trading for Constellation, one of the largest independent generation companies in the U.S.
“We’ve been involved in Japan’s liberalizing energy markets for five years now,” said Mr. Weigand, “the launch of TOCOM’s electricity futures market will be very beneficial for all types of companies and open more opportunities to provide consumers with a wider variety of price plan choices.”
