Local utility makes use of gas trading option
Energieversorgung Greiz will receive gas from E.ON Ruhrgas in the 2011/12 gas year. The two companies have agreed on an energy partnership. Energieversorgung Greiz will receive the so-called trading starter package from E.ON Ruhrgas. This flexible wholesale product allows customers to cover part of their gas procurement via trading.
"We want to help our customers to respond to market challenges in good time and to hold their own in competition. Access to exchange-based gas trading plays an important part in this respect. We are very pleased that we can assist Energieversorgung Greiz in future as a competent partner," stated Dr. Stefan Vogg, Chief Sales Officer of E.ON Ruhrgas.
In the E.ON Group, E.ON Ruhrgas is responsible for pan-European gas business, i.e. for supplying European markets with gas. The customers include local and regional energy suppliers, industrial clients and power stations. They can choose from a broad range of products - extending from full supply to procurement involving trading-based elements.
