Energy Risk Priorities 2010 brings energy risk management executives face-to-face with leading risk management experts in a unique forum of free-flowing roundtable discussions on current issues and solutions to evolving energy risks.

Leading the discussions are senior risk executives from key energy companies and counterparties, including Calpine, NRG Energy, WPS Energy, Constellation, Conoco Phillips, BP Energy, Amerex Brokers, Shell, J.P Morgan, Midwest ISO, ISO New England and more.

The cautionary tale that's emerged from the financial meltdown of 2008, as well as the Enron debacle of of the 90s, is that energy industry risk managers must have a 360° perspective.

In order to buy, sell or move energy today – or to secure financing, contracts or good credit ratings – power companies must exhibit that they have solid and enforceable enterprise risk management.

At the same time new emerging risks – political, security, cyber, climate, uncertainties of supply and demand – are challenging energy risk officers like never before. Risk management is a necessity, a fact of life, for any company operating in the energy space.
